A very large, scarce map of Florida prepared at the time of the Second Seminole War. The map contains a great deal of information on Army forts, Seminole villages, vegetation and hydrology, and a large network of roads and trails. Battlefields are marked with crossed swords. Hand-coloring is used to delineate the District assigned to the Seminoles by the Arrangement of Gen. Macomb on May 18, 1839.
