1956 Map of Soldier Key

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Soldier Key and the northern reaches of Sands Key anchor this mid-century maritime study of the transition from Biscayne Bay to the open Atlantic Ocean. The map documents a landscape defined by water and shoals, tracing the delicate chain of the Ragged Keys and the submerged hazards of Black Ledge and Featherbed Bank. A lone Lookout Tower stands on the southernmost of the Ragged Keys, providing a rare terrestrial waypoint in a region dominated by navigational aids like the Intracoastal Waterway and various daybeacons.
