2012 Map of Upper Matecumbe Key

About this map

Upper Matecumbe Key and the village of Islamorada serve as the focal point for this survey of the Florida Keys' transition from the Gulf of Mexico to Florida Bay. The map documents the intricate network of shallow-water channels and basins that define the maritime geography of Monroe County. Key navigation points like Shell Key Channel, Race Channel, and Lignumvitae Channel weave between protected islands including Lignumvitae Key and Teatable Key. The infrastructure of the Overseas Highway is visible as it crosses Indian Key Fill to connect the major keys. Notable landmarks such as The Hok and the residential streets of Madeira Rd and Carroll St illustrate the settled character of the keys in the early 21st century, while surrounding banks like Peterson Key Bank and Twin Key Bank highlight the delicate bathymetry of the region.
