About this map

Summerland Key serves as the central hub of this low-lying archipelago, where the modern residential infrastructure of Summerland Key Cove Airport and neighborhood streets like Ocean Dr contrast with the dense mangrove systems of the backcountry. This recent survey illustrates a landscape defined by the Old US Hwy 1 corridor and the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trl, which link the larger inhabited keys.

Navigable waters and tidal channels including Niles Channel, Kemp Channel, and Newfound Harbor Channel separate the primary settlements from a complex network of uninhabited islands such as Knockemdown Key, Big Torch Key, and Howe Key. The map documents the intricate balance between developed areas like Ramrod Key and the sprawling Torch Key Mangroves, providing a clear record of the terrestrial and marine boundaries in the Lower Keys during the early twenty-first century.
