Description: Sketch F Showing the Progress of the Survey in Section No.VI (Lower Sheet) From Cape Florida to Tortugas Islands from 1845 to 1860.

Names each of the Keys and identifies Miami at the northern edge of Key Biscayne Bay, as well as the city of Key West.

Bache, Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey (and grandson of Benjamin Franklin). Condition: Folding chart in good antique condition, nice impression on sturdy, mildly age-toned paper, slightly darkened along the folds.
