ROUTE for Soto loops back
on itself in 1742 map by Antonio de Arredondo.
He copies Nairn with a wildly broken tip of Florida
permitting passage between Bay of the Holy Spirit
and Carlos Bay. The name Tampa indicates a shoal
island that might be Anclote, a popular anchorage.
An accurate portrayal of the continental shelf
reveals growing hydrological knowledge. The name
Tortugas is permanently displaced westward by
addition of the name Marquesa for the former,
distinctive circle of islets. (Library of Congress) 1290 x 1410 Pixels |
