Florida (1678)

Made by Johann Hoffmann, was first published in 1678 in his Geographiae Universalis. Hoffmann's map is derived from Pierre Duval's rare map of Florida, first published in 1660, although as noted by Burden, the engraver, Sigismund Hipschmannh, has in fact copied the third state of the Duval, which was first published in 1672. The map provides an interesting projection of the shape of the Spanish Florida, which derives from Sanson's maps. St. Augustine is named in Florida, as is Tegeste, the Cape of Florida, the B(ay) of S(aint) Joseph and S(an) Mateo.

"Floride Francoise (French Florida) is also noted to the north of Caroline ou Charlesford, along with the word Apache and two mythical lakes in the interior of the Southeast. The Mississippi River (Rio del Spiritu Sto) is shown more prominently than the other rivers converging on the Mississippi Delta, prior to the improvements at the end of beginning of the 18th Century brought about by the manuscript maps of Nicholas De L'Isle.
