Description1822 Geographical, Statistical, and Historical Map of Florida by Henry Charles Carey, Isaac Lea and Fielding Lucas.png
English: 1822 map of Florida Territory, published less then a year after Florida was ceded to the U.S. by Spain. The map delineates the territory's two original counties – Escambia and St. Johns, whose initial boundaries were conterminous with those of the earlier districts of East and West Florida. The interior river system is still largely anecdote and conjecture. Two roads lead west out of St. Augustine, one to Rollstown on the St. Johns River and the other to Ivitachua. A number of early northern forts are listed, including Ft. Barancas, Ft. Gadsden or Collinton, Ft. St. Marks, Ft. Poppa, Picolota Ft., and a British Fort erected during the war on the Apalachicola River.
