DESCRIPTION

1848-1855 Chart of Florida showing the entire Florida peninsula with highly detailed coastline showing many bays, passes and harbors, including the Florida Keys. Shows few internal features other than the Indian District in the southwest and the Everglades. Sailing instructions for Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor are shown below an inset chart of Tortugas Island. A small inset of the northernmost coast line is also included to complete the Florida coastline.

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.
