2015 Map of Upper Matecumbe Key

About this map

Islamorada serves as the central hub for this portion of the Florida Keys, where the modern corridor of the Intracostal Waterway intersects with historic routes like the Old Hwy. The map details the intricate archipelago between Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, including the protected expanse of Everglades National Park to the north. Smaller, ecologically significant landmasses such as Lignumvitae Key and Shell Key are situated alongside specialized nautical features like the Yellow Shark Channel and Steamboat Channel. This survey provides a precise record of the developed and undeveloped keys before modern shifts, documenting the layout of Upper Matecumbe Key and the man-made Indian Key Fill that links these islands. The presence of Old SR 905 and Madeira Rd highlights the local transportation network that has long defined the character of this maritime community.
