About location

Tucked between Everglades wetlands and the northern Florida Keys, Jewfish is a place whose character is shaped by the narrow road-and-water passage leading toward Key Largo. The community stands by Jewfish Creek, a tidal channel at the mainland end of the Keys, where US 1 becomes the Overseas Highway. Mangroves and low-lying wetlands dominate the surrounding terrain, making the corridor markedly different from metropolitan Miami to the north. Completed in 1938 after the Labor Day Hurricane destroyed much of the Overseas Railroad, the Overseas Highway incorporated parts of that earlier rail route. Jewfish is therefore less a conventional town centre than a practical threshold between South Florida’s mainland wetlands and the island chain.

Jewfish is best known within Florida for Jewfish Creek, a tidal waterway linking Florida Bay with the Atlantic Ocean at the northern end of Key Largo. The creek marks the transition from the mainland approaches to the Florida Keys, where mangrove shorelines and shallow coastal waters shape travel and boating routes. U.S. Route 1 crosses here on the Jewfish Creek Bridge as the Overseas Highway continues south through the island chain. It is a useful landmark for tracing the geography of the Keys: Florida Bay lies west of the creek, while Key Largo leads toward the Atlantic coast.

Florida
Region Florida

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.
