Item Details
Description
  • Title: Scarce 1876 map of Florida with unusual layout
  • Description: From the very scarce Jones & Hamilton Historical Atlas of the World Illustrated comes this unusual map of Florida. The only other example I’ve been able to find is in the Library of Congress. Published by Higgins Brothers & Co. in 1876, the map is in a very uncommon vertical format. The cartographer chose to leave more open space than is normally seen with Florida maps--and showed much more of Georgia--giving it a unique appearance. The southern portion of the state is almost entirely swampy wilderness, with numerous forts located all throughout that area. What appears to be a trail following a river runs from the Thousand Islands area to just west of Lake Okeechobee. The cartographer apparently was convinced this trail was a major feature, but it does not seem to appear on other Florida maps of that era. The Keys are finely detailed, and the southern swampy lands are delineated very clearly. Archivally repaired upper right corner. Small bit of foxing at bottom left that is not in the map image. Two pea-size spots in the map. An interesting and unique map. 12.5 x 19.25
