2018 Map of Plover Key

About this map

Everglades National Park covers the northeastern portion of this coastal chart, where the wilderness of the Florida coast meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents a fragile coastal environment defined by small islands and points that serve as critical markers for navigation and local geography. These features, including North Plover Key, Plover Key, and Bird Key, represent the emergent landmasses at the edge of the mainland. The inclusion of Seminole Point highlights the subtle landforms that characterize this segment of Monroe County. This 2018 survey provides a precise modern baseline for the coastline, showing the spatial relationship between these named keys and the protected boundaries of the national park during a period of ongoing environmental monitoring.
