Decorative Florida.
This is a 1936 Florida State Road Department map of Florida. Red lines highlight U.S. highway routes and solid black lines mark paved roads. Eleven inset city plans detail various cities, including Orlando, Tallahassee, Daytona Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Miami. An index of counties, cities, and towns appears in the lower left. The whole is surrounded by a pictorial border consisting of vignette views. Among these are the Bok Tower, beaches, hunters, and athletes playing tennis and golf. Florida wildlife, such as alligators, deer, and a puma, also appear.Publication History and Census
