2024 Map of Upper Matecumbe Key

About this map

Islamorada, known as the Village of Islands, anchors this maritime landscape where the waters of Florida Bay meet the Atlantic Ocean. This contemporary survey details the chain of keys and the complex network of channels that define the Florida Straits, including the Intracoastal Waterway and Steamboat Channel. The map highlights protected natural areas such as the Everglades National Park and the expansive Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness, reflecting the region's environmental significance. On the islands, development follows the path of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trl and Old Hwy, while historical sites like Indian Key and Lignumvitae Key remain separated from the main highway corridor. The transition from the developed Upper Matecumbe Key to the smaller, more isolated Peterson Keys and Gopher Keys illustrates the varied nature of the island chain.
