'U.S. Coast Survey Sketch F showing the progress of the survey in Section VI with a general reconnaissance of the Coast of Florida 1848-60. Sub sketch St. John's River and Vicinity. Sub sketch Charlotte harbor'
A scarce early U.S. Coast Survey chart documenting progress in the coastal survey of Florida. Triangulation efforts to date had been concentrated on the Florida Keys, Key Biscayne, Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, the St. Johns River, and an overland stretch westward from Jacksonville to Cedar Keys. The Miami River and the nascent settlement of Miami are identified, although the population of entire county in 1860 was less than 100 people. The chart intriguingly notes the paths of numerous drift bottles—tossed overboard and later recovered—providing valuable insights into prevailing surface currents. Several military forts are marked, including Fort Lauderdale, along with areas including the "Indian District," "Indian Hunting Grounds," and the Everglades.
