A very large and comprehensive map of Florida showing the status of Public Land Surveys, rivers, lakes, coastal islands, towns, army posts, trails etc. Inset maps: "Key West as surveyed February 1829"; "Mouths of Swanee R. and Cedar Keys showing the Western terminus of a proposed railroad"; and "A General Map of part of Florida included between Cedar Keys and St. John's River." This is an incredible chart that is filled with detail. Drawn by J. Goldsborough Bruff and finely engraved by D. McClelland of the Topographical Engineers. An early and most desirable Florida issue.
