Full Title Drew's New Map Of The State Of Florida Showing the Progress of the U.S. Surveys, the Completed & Projected Railroads, The Different Railroad Stations And Growing Railroad Towns, The New Towns on the Rivers and interior, and the New Counties, up to the Year 1870. Published by C. Drew, Bookseller & Stationer, Jacksonville, Fla. Copy right secured according to law. Engraved & printed by Julius Bien, N.Y.
List No 5190.001
Note This is the earliest issue of this map that we have seen, earlier than any listed in Phillips or Fitzgerald. Compared to our 1876 edition (see #5040) there is far less railroad development shown on the map and the railroads are not listed to the right of the Florida Peninsula, as they are on the 1876 issue. Julius Bien is credited as engraver and printer, which is removed on the 1876 edition. There is no copyright notice. Drew's map is probably the only pocket map of Florida published in Florida in the 19th century. Not much is known about Drew - he is listed on the map as "Bookseller & Stationer" in Jacksonville. Full color by county. Map is folded into stamped dark brown cloth covers 15x9.5 with "Drew's New Map Of Florida" in gilt.
