Description: Meyer's 1845 map of Florida is derived from the Tanner/Mitchell Universal atlas map of 1839. This detail of that map covers Hernando County, which was called Benton County between 1844 and 1850. However, this map shows it named as Dade County. Routes of travel are covered along with major waterways. One of these for this detail is the Withlacoochee River. Islands on the coast are pictured, such as Castor Island and Saint Clements Island.
