About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird’s-eye perspective, this map presents Key West in the late 19th century, when the city was shaped by its island harbor, maritime trade, naval presence, cigar industry, churches, public buildings, and commercial waterfront. The view looks across the island and surrounding waters, showing a busy port city filled with sailing ships, docks, warehouses, cigar factories, residential neighborhoods, storefronts, and public landmarks.

Notable landmarks shown on the map include Fort Taylor, the U.S. Naval Depot, Marine Hospital, Masonic Hall, Odd Fellows Hall, International Telegraph Office, McKillip Boots and Shoes, Greaux Watches, Stillman’s Saloon, Sweeny Mineral Water & Beer, Gregory’s Cigar Factory, Wellacott’s Ice Cream Parlor, Hanson Blacksmithing, Curry’s Saloon, and many of the historic streets, homes, churches, shops, wharves, cigar factories, and waterfront scenes that shaped Key West in the 1880s.
