Description

This map covers a portion of the central Florida Peninsula between the Cedar Keys along the Gulf of Mexico and the St. John’s River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The map details the landscape, including water features, settlements, trails, and topographical elements. It highlights the Arredondo Grant, a significant land grant of the early 19th century in the vicinity of present-day Gainesville, and shows various rivers, creeks, and marshlands.

Areas such as Dunn's Lake (now Crescent Lake), Lake George, and Orange Lake are illustrated, along with key rivers including the Suwannee, Withlacoochee, Ocklawaha, and St. John Rivers.

This is the lower left corner of the U.S. Topographical Engineer's 1846 map of Florida, which can be seen here.
