About this map

Panther Key and the surrounding labyrinth of the Ten Thousand Islands define this aquatic landscape at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal features where the boundary between Collier and Monroe counties winds through open water and mangrove keys. Significant portions of the eastern reach are protected within the Everglades National Park, preserving a wilderness of tide-swept landforms such as Camp Lulu Key and Round Key.

Navigation through these shallow waters is marked by passages like Dismal Key Pass and West Pass, which separate named features including White Horse Key and Gullivan Key. The presence of Gomez Point and Hog Key underscores the intricate, fragmented nature of this subtropical coastline as it appeared in the early twenty-first century, offering a clear record of the area's natural geography before further environmental change.
