The copyright date is 1873; there was an 1874 edition, then this 1876 edition, and an 1877 edition. The first edition was probably 1870 (see our #5190).

A fine, scarce pocket map of Florida published in Jacksonville, Florida, and the only map in the Fitzgerald list and in Phillips Maps published by a Floridian in the 1800's. Several existing and proposed railroads are shown, and the map is generally thick with detail of emerging towns, roads, historic sites, etc. Map is folded into green cloth covers 15x10 with "Drew's Florida" stamped into an illustration of an armored arm stamped in gilt.
