1972 Map of Sandy Key

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Cape Sable and the southern reaches of Everglades National Park define this 1970s orthophotomap, which uses aerial photography to detail the shifting shoals of Florida Bay. The imagery reveals the intricate underwater geography of the region, including the broad shallows of the First National Bank and the Middle Ground. Navigation and geography are intertwined here, as seen in the clear path of the Rocky Channel and the presence of a Light marking the open waters between the Gulf of Mexico and the inner bay. For those interested in the natural history of the Florida coast, the map provides precise locations for isolated landforms like Sandy Key and Carl Ross Key, the latter of which features a designated Picnic Area for early 1970s visitors.
