DESCRIPTION

A chart detailing Cedar Key Bay on the main coast of Florida. Shows the main entrance to the Harbor of Cedar Keys along the Sea Horse Reef and Snake Shoal. The mapping extends from Suwannee Bay on the west, to We-Thlocco-Chee Bay, Crystal River Harbor, and finally to St. Martin's Keys in the southeast. Great detail is shown of the various reefs and soundings. Also shown are station locations and the proposed location of Sea Horse Key for the future lighthouse.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
