About this Item
Description:
"This 1841 map of Florida done by the General Land Office, shows natural features such as: The Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Georgia State Line, South boundary of General Coffees Survey, St. Rosa Island, St. Rosa Sound, Perdido Bay, Lake George, Forbes Purchase, among others. The General Land Office was an independent agency of the United States government responsible for the public domain lands of the U.S. Established in 1812, the GLO oversaw the surveying, platting, and sale of the public lands in the Western United States. By the early 20th century, the General Land Office shifted from its primary function of land sales to issuing leases and collecting grazing fees for livestock raised on public lands. The GLO eventually merged with the United States Grazing Service to become the Bureau of Land Management in 1946. GLO Maps like this one are very difficult to find in acceptable condition due to the poor paper used by the Government. Seller Inventory # 109878
