From Mose in Secondary Literature by Amy • Map – great detail of 1788 by de la Roque at GH, most accurate of all colonial maps. Per St. Augustine Record: "Posted April 25, 2015 12:21 am Rocque map April 25, 1788 Spanish Royal Engineer Mariano de la Rocque completed his map of St. Augustine that shows a footprint of every building. It lists property owners, materials and building condition." Per Government House (http://exhibits.uflib.ufl.edu/govhousestories/): Unknown Copier of Rocque Copy of Mariano de la Rocque’s Plano Particular de la Ciudad de San Agustin de la Florida Circa 1845 P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History, Special & Area Studies Collections, University of Florida Gift of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the P.G.A./World Golf Village Rocque’s Plano Particular (1788) is the most accurate 18th century plat map of the city. For decades it has been used by historians and archaeologists to pinpoint the location of streets and structures, as well as to study colonial architecture. In the key, the Governor’s house is described as a masonry house in good condition. This is a full-scale reproduction of the original hand-drawn map, which is preserved by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
