Introduction
Mile Marker 0 is located at the southernmost tip of Key West, Florida, marking the beginning (or end) of US Highway 1, the southern terminus of this famous road that traverses the American East Coast. Highway 1 starts from Key West and extends over 3,800 kilometers to Fort Kent, Maine at the US-Canada border, making it one of America's most legendary highways. The Mile Marker 0 itself is a simple cylindrical concrete post marked with the highway number and distance information, but its symbolic significance has made it one of Key West's most popular photo spots. The marker is surrounded by Key West Harbor and the waterfront trail, with views of the famous Seven Mile Bridge and the blue Gulf of Mexico in the distance. Visitors photograph here to commemorate completing the legendary journey from the southernmost to the northernmost point of the US, an important ritual of American road trip culture.
