Map features Mitchell's lovely grapevine border and a large and detailed inset plan of Mobile. Good detail throughout shows Florida with 37 counties. The railroads traverse the northern portion, extending only as far south as the Crystal River region, here named Atsena Otie. The Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp cover the entire southern portion. Miami is named and the map extends to the Dry Tortugas.
