Additional Information
This map was published only one year before the Key West Hurricane, which caused significant damage across the region. The city remained relatively isolated until the completion of the Overseas Railway, which connected the city to the mainland of Florida, allowing for significant growth and expansion. The city remains one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the United States, where visitors come for local attractions, including the famous Ernest Hemingway House, which is home to a private museum dedicated to one of the most lauded and recognized figures in American literary history, whose legacy remains one of the most enduring characters both personally and for his prolific works in both fiction and journalism.
Key West is not just a historical gem, but also a haven for sport fishermen. The rich waters that surround the archipelago are teeming with marine biodiversity, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. It is home to the Tarpon, one of the most sought-after species for Fly Anglers, popularized during the late nineteenth century and remains an attraction to this day. Key West's unique geographical location, as the southernmost point in the contiguous United States, adds to its allure. It is some one hundred and six miles north of the Cuban Capital of Havana, which attracted Cubans to the region during the Ten Years War in the later nineteenth century when Cuba sought independence from Colonial Spanish Rule.
This map bears a classic style that immediately transports the viewer back in time and offers a glimpse into the unique history and development of Key West during the early twentieth century.
