[ISHMap-List] post-1750 Moll map of Florida

[Joel Kovarsky]

Jay,

Not sure this make life any less tangled, other than perhaps indicating 
that the name change took place earlier than you thought and maybe there 
were several states of the later map: 
http://fcit.usf.edu/florida/maps/pages/2900/f2924/f2924.htm . The 
bibliographic entry there is copied below. Maybe the folks at that 
library could help, if I haven't misunderstood something else.

Title: Florida : the north part of the Gulf of Mexico with the adjacent 
territories belonging to Great Britain and to France.
Projection: Unknown
Source Bounding Coordinates:
W: -109 E: -77 N: 40 S: 22.5
