(FL. - Tampa-Orlando) Map Showing the Different Lines Of Survey Across Florida For A Canal Between; Espiritu Santo Bay And The St. Johns And Ocklawaha Rivers...US Govt., 1854 An amazing interior view of the still very young state of Florida, looking at a potential water route across much of Central Florida, from modern day Tampa Bay, up beyond "Lake Ahapopka" (Orlando area), and up beyond Lake George, roughly to modern day town of Interlachen. Well articulates the complex changing terrain of "Swamps, Low Wet Prairies, Pine Barren", etc. As it depicts the complex drainages, it proposes two routes that could connect to the Hillsborough River, and out to "Espiritu Santo Bay". Condition is good with some typical toning to the old folds, and a restored upper left margin, that doesn't effect the map. Image size is approximately 16 x 13.75 (inches)
