This 1854 map from Mitchell's Cowperthwait Atlas depicts Levy County, Florida. Levy County, established in 1845 following the Seminole Wars, was named for David Levy Yulee, a significant figure in Florida's development. Yulee served as the state's territorial delegate to the US House of Representatives (1841-1845) and later as a Senator. The map's significance lies in its depiction of the county during its early years, showing the area before extensive development. The description also notes Yulee's role in constructing Florida's first railroad, connecting Fernandina and Cedar Key, furthering the state's economic growth.
