2018 Map of Seahorse Key

About this map

Seahorse Key and the surrounding islands of the Cedar Keys cluster emerge from the shallow coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico in this modern survey of Levy County. The topography is dominated by a complex network of mangrove-lined keys and shifting sandbars, including Deadmans Key and Snake Key. For those researching local history, the map identifies the Atsena Otie Cem on Atsena Otie Key, a site reflecting the early settlement patterns and the maritime industry that once thrived in these waters. Navigational features such as the Main Ship Channel, Deadmans Channel, and the sweeping line of Seahorse Reef illustrate the maritime routes essential for reaching this island group. The landscape transitions from the submerged West Bank and East Bank to the low-lying terrain of North Key and Grassy Key, providing a detailed look at the island geography and coastal boundaries of this unique Florida archipelago.
