Carta

This map, ca. 1790,
shows locations of ethnic groups and communities, and mentions some
navigational aids. The title of
this map is misleading, as the area shown includes much of southwestern
present U.S.; it would more properly be called a map of "Florida,"
i.e. the region extending from Florida towards southwestern North America.
The Gulf of Mexico is not labeled.
Illustrations of animals, plants and people are in the margins.
Conical projection.
This
map forms part of the Cutter World Map Collection, collection C 003, at the Center of Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis
College.
