Go Cruise the Overseas Highway

US 1 runs south through the Florida Keys, extending 115 miles southwest from the mainland. Mile markers designate places along the way. Mile marker 106 is in Key Largo, at the beginning of the Keys, mile marker 0 is located in Key West at the far end of the island chain.
The blue-green panorama of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, dotted with lobster traps and sailboats, is not unlike the scene that greeted passengers on Henry Flagler's  Overseas Railroad which linked the Keys to mainland Florida from 1912 until 1935.
Flagler's railway made the Keys accessible from mainland Florida, and his Seven-Mile Bridge was considered an engineering feat.
