2012 Map of Saddlebunch Keys

About this map

Saddlebunch Keys and the intricate marine environment of Monroe County are depicted in this 2012 survey, showing the transition from sheltered sounds to the open Straits of Florida. The map detail follows the passage of State Road 939 and Sugarloaf Blvd across the keys, connecting scattered residential pockets like those on Bay Dr and Loop Rd. The surrounding waters are defined by complex tidal passages, including the Saddlebunch Number Three Channel and Saddlebunch Number Four Channel, which navigate around Wells Key and into Lower Sugarloaf Sound. Further offshore, the landscape is marked by navigational hazards and aids such as the Ninefoot Shoal Light and Pelican Shoal Light 26. These landmarks, along with named features like West Washerwoman Shoal and Maryland Shoal, illustrate the critical importance of maritime charting in these shallow Florida waters.
