This is a 1938 Kenneth A. Friedman pictorial map of Florida. The map encapsulates the comedic tone of Friedman's guidebook, Kenneth A. Friedman's Cartoon Guide of Florida. Tourist sites, national parks, monuments, colleges, and Florida's many cities populate the map. Sketches of Florida wildlife, including a 'Florida Wild Cat', a black bear, and a sea cow (manatee) make appearances. Everglades National Park, which was then being created, is labeled, along with Big Cypress Swamp and Lake Okeechobee. Historical sites across the state, such as Fort Matanzas, the Ringling Museum, and Fort Jefferson on Dry Tortugas, line the coast. A gigantic school of fish (all labeled) swim from Jacksonville to Pensacola. Among these are all the Florida angling classics: barracuda, tarpon, sailfish, and marlin. Two green sea turtles make an appearance just below the title cartouche. (more details)
