About this map

Islamorada, Village of Islands sits at the heart of this coastal survey, where the narrow land bridge of the Florida Keys transitions between the open Atlantic Ocean and the sprawling shallows of Florida Bay. The map documents the residential and nautical development of Plantation Key and the southern tip of Key Largo, linked by the bridging of Tavernier Creek. Maritime infrastructure is central to the area's identity, featuring the Intracostal Waterway, protected harbors like Tavernier Harbor, and engineered passages such as Cowpens Cut and Ramshorn Cut.

Protection and recreation are balanced across these waters, with the western reaches of the sheet falling within the boundaries of Everglades National Park. Numerous small keys, including Bob Keys, Butternut Key, and the Manatee Keys, dot the shallow bay waters, while on land, the Tavernaero Park Airport and residential developments like Hammer Point show the mid-century expansion of these island communities.
