2025 Map of Pavilion Key

About this map

Ten Thousand Islands forms a complex labyrinth of mangrove keys and tidal channels along the southwestern coast of Florida, where the Gulf of America meets the vast wilderness of Everglades National Park. This coastal margin is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including the Huston River and Chatham River, which snake through the island chain toward Huston Bay and Storter Bay. The map provides a detailed view of the remote keys that have long served as landmarks for mariners and coastal inhabitants, from the prominent Pavilion Key and Mormon Key to smaller features like Duck Rock and Snake Key. The lack of roads or inland settlements emphasizes the area's character as a maritime frontier, where land and water are inextricably linked and navigation depends entirely on the shifting passages of the mangrove estuaries.
