Explore Long Key, Florida, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Long Key, Florida. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Florida or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Long Key.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Long Key exists as a low-slung splinter of limestone draped in mangroves, where the air hangs heavy with the brine of the Atlantic and the quiet stillness of the subtropical sun. It lies 29.3 miles southwest of Key Largo, FL (from Key Largo, FL: bearing 232°T), and is situated 19.0 miles east-northeast of Marathon. The horizon here is dominated by the shimmering expanse of Long Key Bight, a shallow basin that catches the light and turns it into a bruised, shifting violet as the day wanes. While the mainland remains far to the north, the immediate terrain of Long Key is defined by its porous, ancient rock and the thick, salt-hardened palmetto scrub that clings to the shoreline. Beneath the surface of the water, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary protects a complex, submerged architecture of coral and seagrass, a silent world that dictates the slow, tidal pulse of the landscape.
Historical remnants of the great railway project still haunt the margins of Long Key, marking a time when iron and ambition attempted to conquer the archipelago. Today, the local economy relies on the steady, seasonal arrival of those who trade the biting cold of the north for the humid, salt-crusted pace of life near the water. For travelers seeking a respite from more frantic shores, the proximity to the aquatic life of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary provides a singular focus, drawing divers and anglers who respect the delicate ecology of the bight. Life on Long Key moves with the currents, governed by the rhythm of the tides and the occasional, sharp crack of lightning that reminds inhabitants of the volatile, beautiful intensity of this coastal sliver.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
