2015 Map of Marquesas Keys West

About this map

The Quicksands and the western edge of the Marquesas Keys define this maritime environment in the far western Florida Keys. This 2015 survey details the hazardous and shifting seabed west of Key West, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Straits of Florida. The chart illustrates a specialized maritime conservation landscape, marked by the extensive boundary of the Dry Tortugas Fry. Navigational features include the Rebecca Shoal Channel and shallow-water landmarks like Halfmoon Shoal and New Ground. Small landforms such as Mooney Harbor Key and the Gull Keys provide the only terrestrial points in a region dominated by the protected waters of Mooney Harbor.
