2024 Map of Panther Key

About this map

Panther Key and the surrounding labyrinth of the Ten Thousand Islands define this coastal landscape where the fresh water of the Glades meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map details a complex network of mangrove keys and tidal passes, including Dismal Key Pass and West Pass, within the protected reaches of the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Everglades National Park. A significant portion of the eastern sheet is designated as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness, reflecting modern conservation efforts to preserve this unique subtropical ecosystem. For navigators and adventurers, the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trail is clearly marked, weaving past landmarks like Gomez Point and Camp Lulu Key. The map serves as a contemporary record of these shifting shorelines and the established boundaries of Florida's most critical wilderness preserves.
