Description: This detail of a 1850 map from the New Universal Atlas shows towns, forts, roads, canals, major rivers and lakes in the mainland of Monroe County. The map is very similar to the 1839 map from Tanner's Universal Atlas. There are references to forts, battlefields, and routes used by the Army during the Seminole War. Many coastal features are pictured, such as Cape Roman, Gallivans Bay, and Last Mans Key.
