1971 Map of Plantation Key

About this map

Plantation Key and its surrounding waters are captured here in the early 1970s, showcasing a landscape defined by the transition from the wild Everglades National Park to the developing island chain. This orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the Upper Keys, where the natural expanse of Florida Bay and the Straits of Florida meet the growing footprint of Islamorada. Residential developments like Taurus are visible alongside essential community markers including the Coral Shores Sch, San Pedro Ch, and Island Community Ch.
