DESCRIPTION

Chart of Key West Florida and Approaches. This map includes many depth soundings, banks, channels, bearings and sailing directions to aid the mariner. Some of the locations shown are Boca Grande Key, Man Key, Woman Key, Stock Island, Racoon Key, Sambo and Spectacular Shoals, Sand Key and Rock Key. This map has some nice bathymetry charts that are atypical for Coast Survey charts, tide tables and many notations.

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.
