    Re: 1600s spanish maps

    RD, I think that map was mainly used to record the locations of the main riverways and major bays and inlets that had deep water for their sailing ships. A large town / settlement could be shown on it, but the more detailed maps of just sections of coastlines would have the forts, settlements, and Indian villages.
