Sugarloaf Key and its surrounding archipelago define this early 20th-century coastal survey, produced under the direction of Col. W. M. Black for the Army Corps of Engineers. This maritime landscape is a complex network of mangrove-fringed islands and shallow waterways, where tidal fluctuations of less than two feet dictate the navigability of the Boca Chica Channel and Saddle Bunch Harbor. The map records the intricate geography of the Florida Keys as they appeared before major modern development, capturing the original footprint of features like Cudjoe Key and the sprawling Snipe Keys.
