I found this old map and was looking pretty good at it ,are the old buildings on these type maps indian villages or spanish missions /forts... This would almost have to be im thinking indian village,but im not a 100% sure....Its early 1600s,and no spanish forts known to be in the area of these in this timeframe.Thanks for any ,and all help....I take that back.saint augustine would be..
 

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.
