2018 Map of Pavilion Key

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses the intricate labyrinth of islands and waterways where the southwest Florida coast meets the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal wilderness is defined by the Ten Thousand Islands, a complex mangrove archipelago characterized by tidal rivers and sheltered bays. The map documents the shifting shorelines and shallow navigation channels of the Huston River and Chatham River, which drain into the sea at Chatham Bend. Several prominent islands, including Pavilion Key and Mormon Key, stand out as significant landmarks in an area dominated by amphibious terrain. For those interested in the maritime geography of Monroe County, this survey details coastal features such as Duck Rock and Gun Rock Point that serve as vital reference points for local navigation.
