The Florida Map Collection is an ongoing cooperative project of
the State of Florida's public universities to digitize and provide online
access to maps of contemporary and historic Florida, dating from 1564
through the present. The majority of maps in this collection document
historic Florida (1564-1926), illustrating territories of the Spanish,
French, English, and United States in Florida, as well as, coastal Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia and other southeastern states. While
many of these maps were originally published as maps independent of any
other publication, some were published with atlases, books, government
documents, railroad schedules, land promotions, etc.
Maps in this collection include municipal and county maps as well as
maps depicting the entire state. Among the municipal maps in the Collection
and the historic and highly detailed Sanborn Fire Insurance Company's
pre-1923 maps of Florida; effort is ongoing to complete this set. Maps
in the Florida Map Collection are also included within the North
American Map Collection and the Caribbean
Basin Map Collection.
Maps are taken from archives, special collections, and libraries of the
state's public universities. These maps represent only a small part of
the wealth of historical and archival treasures held by the universities'
archives and libraries. Users should note the source of materials they
use on this site and should contact the holding libraries or archives
directly for more information.
