1972 Map of Summerland Key

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

National Key Deer Refuge and the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge dominate this 1970s orthophotomap, where the intricate network of the lower Florida Keys is documented with precision. The map shows the expanding human footprint on Summerland Key and Ramrod Key alongside several quarries and a Trailer Park. This era represents a period of significant development in the Keys, captured here through aerial photography and planetable surveys. Complex waterways like Kemp Channel, Niles Channel, and the Torch Ramrod Channel wind between small islands such as Toptree Hammock Key and Knockemdown Key. The map also details essential infrastructure of the time, including a Radio Tower, a Boat Ramp, and a Sewage Disposal site on the edge of Cudjoe Bay, providing a clear record of the region's mid-century utility and settlement patterns.
