Maps of Florida from 1562, 1591 and 1670

[Alex Burke]

These are some maps I came across and thought you guys might like them. I either asked the posters permission on the forum I found them on or did a quick check to find them in Library Of Congress so I believe they are copyright free. They are obviously not to scale and probably of little use to most of us other than to enjoy them for what they are some cool historical docs.. A zoomable version of one of them is available at this link Military map of the peninsula of Florida south of Tampa Bay which allows you to zoom in and even find old Indian villages but I had some trouble getting the page to zoom right..

Ha! That's incredible. I really got a kick out of finding this in that zoom-able map:



Great share, thank you.
