This small pictorial map of the Florida Keys was issued by the Monroe County Advertising Commission. It shows the path of Overseas Highway from Key Largo to Key West, and locates over two dozen shipwrecks as indicated by small black triangles. Along the bottom of the sheet are eleven species of fish found in the region with the caption "The World's Finest Fishing Waters." A large floating scroll cartouche lists the 42 bridges linking the keys together along with a table of distances. Related text and illustrations on verso. Self-folding into pictorial wrappers (3.9 x 8.5").
