About this map

Seahorse Key Lighthouse stands as a primary maritime landmark in this coastal survey of the Cedar Keys area, marking the entrance to the Main Ship Channel. The map illustrates a delicate chain of islands including Seahorse Key, Snake Key, and Deadmans Key as they appeared in 2012. These keys are separated from the Florida mainland by the Deadmans Channel and protected to the south by the extensive Seahorse Reef.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the inclusion of Atsena Otie Key, which features the Atsena Otie Cem. This site represents a vital connection to the region's 19th-century settlement history, preserving the location of a community once central to the local cedar industry. The surrounding shoals of the East Bank and West Bank further define the intricate navigation and ecological character of this Gulf of Mexico archipelago.
