Description: A map of Florida as a Spanish possession stretching from the Mississippi River eastward to the Atlantic Ocean and a northern border line established by the treaties of 1782 and 1783. Florida on this map is shown as East and West Florida with the dividing line shifted to the east on the Apalachicola River. To the north of Florida are the Mississippi Territory organized in 1798 and the undisputed area of Georgia. To the west beyond the Mississippi River is the Louisiana Territory ceded to France by Spain.
