1843 External Boundary Survey of Township 30S, Range 20E

This initial external boundary survey of T30S, R20E is irregular due to the reserved lands (by the Federal Government) set aside for Fort Brooke in Tampa. Originally, the military reservation, which includes the mouth of the Alafia River, as 16 miles square, and no settlers were permitted inside this reservation without the specific permission of the US Army. The reservation was reduced in size in July 1848.
