Geographical Description:
The map shows the southeastern United States but that landmass is identified as La Florida. Cuba and Hispaniola are also shown, as is Jamaica, the Yucatan Peninsula, Puerto Rico and part of Central America and South America. The map is based on sketches and other information created by Jacques Le Moyne (sometimes spelled LeMoyne) during his time in Florida. Le Moyne was part of a French Huguenot settlement called Fort Caroline, which only lasted from 1564 to 1565 and was located on the St. Johns River near present-day Jacksonville. The French settlement was established by Rene de Laudonniere and Jean Ribault. It was destroyed by the Spanish, led by Pedro Menendez de Aviles, in 1565. Menendez founded St. Augustine that same year.
