Early map of the area around Pensacola from the Gulf at Grand Lagoon and Foster's Island (present-day Perdido Key) to Pensacola. Includes Cox's and West Lagoons, now called Bayou Grande and Bayou Chico, respectively. Great detail with hundreds of soundings, including depth lines. Major Kearney later led the Army of the West to defeat the Mexican Army in 1847 resulting in the entire Southwest and California falling to the United States. This issue was "Reduced from original and drawn by Washington Hood and Richard S. Smith" after the large-scale map.
