Jodocus Hondius: Virginia et Florida
Title: Virginia et Florida Map Maker: Jodocus Hondius
Description: Reduced version of Hondius' 1606 map of the region from the Mercator-Hondius Atlas Minor. The map is based upon the work of John White and Jacques LeMoyne, as interpeted by De Bry's maps of the explorations. One of the last maps to cartographically predate Smith's contribution and the settlement of Jamestown. Le Moyne's lake in Florida has been moved to central Florida, to accomodate the St. May (St. Johns) River, which flows easterly. The influences of Wytfliet and Ribaut are in evidence. References: Burden 155.
