2015 Map of Pavilion Key

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses this labyrinthine coastal environment where the mangrove-fringed shorelines of the Ten Thousand Islands meet the Gulf of Mexico. The map details a complex network of tidal waterways, including the Huston River and Chatham River, which feed into shallow basins like Storter Bay and Huston Bay. These brackish arteries define the shifting geography of the region, creating isolated landforms such as Pavilion Key and Mormon Key. This coastal wilderness remains largely defined by its natural hydrology, with prominent landmarks like Gun Rock Point and Chatham Bend serving as critical navigational references. The absence of roads or permanent land-based infrastructure highlights the preserved, water-dependent nature of this subtropical archipelago, where the land itself is a series of fragmented keys including Turkey Key, Snake Key, and Little Pavilion Key.
