Summary:     This collection contains two plat surveys of Northern Florida created by the Office of the Surveyor General, which it used to determine township and range. The surveys depict the area from the northern border to south of Lake George and show the status of the surveys--whether a township is full sectioned or simply marked out. Noted on the surveys are the Forbes Purchase, the Arredondo Grant, major lakes and rivers, and some towns such as St. Marks, St. Augustine, and Fernandina. Proposed new survey areas are also marked. The scale on both surveys is 18 miles to 1 inch.
