2015 Map of Seahorse Key

About this map

Atsena Otie Key and Seahorse Key anchor this maritime survey of the archipelago off the Florida coast. This map documents a landscape defined by shifting sands and isolated landforms, including the Atsena Otie Cem, a site of significant genealogical and local interest. The surrounding waters of the Gulf of Mexico are navigated via the Main Ship Channel and Deadmans Channel, which cut between the various islands known collectively as the Cedar Keys. To the south, the seafloor is marked by the broad West Bank and East Bank, leading toward the extensive Seahorse Reef. The map illustrates the specialized geography of the Levy County coastline, where small islands like Snake Key, North Key, and Grassy Key provide the only terrestrial markers in an otherwise aquatic environment.
