Geographical Description:
Coverage extends from roughly St. Augustine to Cuba, and from the Bay of St. Andres (Saint Andrew Bay) to Rum Cay and Isla Conception. There is very little inland detail, but the Florida Keys, Tampa Bay, and the vicinity of Miami are well maps, with notes as to where fresh water can be found. The routes of several voyages (most undertaken between 1794 and 1820) are noted here, and were influential in preparing the map. The general shape of Florida is consistent with maps of the period, including an exaggerated hook south of Cape Romano, and an unexplored region in the vicinity of the Crystal River south of the Cedar Keys.

Cartobibliographic notes:
Historical Context: A little more than a decade earlier, through 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty, Spain surrendered all rights of Florida (and Oregon) to the United States. The vast swampy territory was nonetheless only tenuously explored and presumably of little economic value - instead, the U.S. saw the acquisition of Florida in the context of a strategic claim, thus securing all of the North American mainland east of Texas and south of Canada. Major development in Florida would not happen until after the American Civil War.
