Detail of south cape of Florida from "Map of the Seat of War in Florida."
The map reveals the Army's lack of geographic knowledge of the region during the
Second Seminole War. Note the absence of detail around Lake Okeechobee, where
vast spaces are filled with vague drawings of trees and open savannah. Original
map commissioned by the Army in 1838. David Rumsey Map Collection,
