These were dug up from the National Archives and are now being transferred onto metal for display! Four 10x12 historic maps of Florida and surrounding region that I've printed onto metal. These make great displays for any home or office and will last forever. The detail on these maps is important to take note of as these were originally used for nautical navigation.
