2012 Map of Pavilion Key

About this map

Ten Thousand Islands dominate this coastal survey of Monroe County, revealing the complex labyrinth of mangrove keys and tidal channels where the Florida peninsula meets the Gulf of Mexico. The geography is defined by a series of significant landforms including Pavilion Key, which serves as a primary navigational landmark with its Pavilion Key Light 10. Inlets such as Chatham Bend and Duck Rock Cove connect the open sea to interior waterways like the Huston River and Chatham River. This 2012 map illustrates the intricate coastal morphology of the region, featuring named points of interest such as Mormon Key, New Turkey Key, and Clam Point. The layout of these keys and bights offers a snapshot of the ever-shifting shoreline and the network of tidal flats and deep-water passages vital to coastal navigation in the Everglades region.
