2015 Map of Plover Key

About this map

Everglades National Park covers the eastern reaches of this coastal quadrangle, preserving the fragile interface where the Florida mainland meets the open water. This maritime landscape is defined by small landforms such as Plover Key, North Plover Key, and Seminole Point, which serve as critical landmarks for navigating the shallow transition into the Gulf of Mexico. The boundary between the state and Monroe County underscores the jurisdictional layout of this coastal wilderness. The area remains dominated by natural features, with the map documenting the precise shoreline and island placements as they existed during this 2015 survey, providing a snapshot of the ever-shifting coastal geography in south Florida.
