Purcell, Joseph (surveyor)
1778 A Map of the Road from Pensacola in W. Florida to St. Augustine in East Florida Made by Order of the Late Hon. Col. John Stuart. A digitized copy of the map is available in sections through the University of North Carolina Crown Collection. This is often referred to as the Stuart-Purcell map since it was requested by John Stuart who was the British superintendent of the Indians of the southern colonies.
For more on the Stuart-Purcell map, see the following:
Boyd, Mark F.
1936 The First American Road in Florida: Pensacola-St. Augustine Highway, 1824. Part II. The Quarterly Periodical of the Florida Historical Society 14(3):138-192.
1938 A Map of the Road from Pensacola to St. Augustine, 1778 (with nine plates). Florida Historical Quarterly 17(1):15-24.
As Boyd notes, much of the 19th-century road has been reconstructed from reports written by Captain Daniel E. Burch to his commanding officer, Brig. General Thomas S. Jesup, Quartermaster of the U.S. Army. Brig. General Jesup would later lead troops against the native population during the Second Seminole War.
