1847 Survey Map of Township 31S, Range 19E.

Abstract/Description
-
This 1847 Survey map delineates land that lies on Tampa Bay, north of Ruskin, in roughly the area where today's Apollo Beach is located. Note the marking of salt marshes on the western edge of the map, and the rather extensive forestation (indicated by tree marks) inland. This can give an idea on the character of the land before many settlers arrived.
