Bay Point
Few places in the Florida Keys have a history as closely tied to the Overseas Highway as Bay Point. This small unincorporated community occupies part of Big Coppitt Key, between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic-side waters of the Lower Keys, north of Key West. U.S. Route 1 is its defining spine, following a corridor shaped by Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad; after the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, parts of the rail route were adapted for the highway. Bay Point remains a practical stop along the island chain, with local businesses, low-rise homes and mangrove-edged shoreline. It represents the everyday, working character of the Keys rather than the dense historic streets of Key West.

Built around sheltered coastal waters and canal-front lots, Bay Point grew into a small residential community in Monroe County’s Lower Florida Keys. It occupies a low-lying stretch of the island chain between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, where mangroves and shallow marine waters shape the shoreline. The Overseas Highway, part of US 1, is the Keys’ essential road link; much of its route follows the corridor of Henry Flagler’s former Overseas Railroad, which was devastated by the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane. Bay Point reflects the quieter residential side of the Keys beyond Key West, where boating and the sea remain central to daily life.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
