DESCRIPTION

1848-1853 Chart of Florida showing the entire Florida peninsula, but only detailing the western coastline, mapping all bays and harbors, including the Florida Keys. Shows few internal features, however, does note the Mangrove Swamps and Indian Hunting Grounds near the Everglades. On the eastern coastline, little is shown other than the Key Biscayne Bay region and Cape Canaveral being noted with little detail. Latitudes and longitudes for various locations and some sailing instructions are shown as well. This edition includes a Sub-Sketch showing the Progress of the Survey north of the St. John's River at Talbot Island by the Georgia-Florida border.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
