One of the Earliest Obtainable Maps of Florida Territory

Striking full color example of Moses Greenleaf's rare early map of Florida Territory.

The map provides an early look at Florida, prior to its statehood in 1846. Very few counties have been formed, especially in the central and southern parts of the state.  Most notably, the map pre-dates the creation of Dade County in February 1836.

Greenleaf acquired the rights to David Burr's Atlas in the mid-1830s.  Burr's Atlas was perhaps the most elegant American commercially published atlas of its time, utilizing wonderful wash colors and elegant engraving style. Burr studied under Simeon DeWitt in New York. His first atlas was an Atlas of New York State, the second state atlas to be issued in the US (after Mills Atlas of South Carolina in 1826). In the 1830s, he served as topographer for the US Post Office, producing a series of rare and highly sought after large format state maps during this period. Later, he was appointed as the Geographer of the House of Representatives, where he served during the later part of the 1830s. Burr is widely regarded as one of the most important names in American Cartographic history.
