Description: This 1842 map of Florida shows roads, railroads, counties, forts, naval depots and other military installations, major towns, rivers, and lakes. Of interest are the counties of the time, including Leigh Read County, which was proposed but never passed in legislature. The two railroads shown on the map run between Tallehassee (Tallahassee) and St. Marks, and between St. Josephs (St. Joe) and Iola. Longitude is shown from Greenwich at the top of the map, and Washington at the bottom of the map. The map scale is in &quoe;American Miles."
