Help finding Key Marco image, please

[E.P. Grondine]

When I was in Gainesville, I saw a drawing Key Marco showing the temples and canals in perspective. I can not locate a copy via the net. Has anyone else seen it, and can any of you find it?

Is this what you're looking for?

No, but thanks Roy. The image I am looking for is a black and white engraving, and aerial projection of the whole island complex.

This one perhaps, EP?

No, but thanks RS. The image I am looking for is a black and white engraving, and aerial projection of the whole island complex.

Wow... I grew up in that area and had no idea. As a kid, I explored the whole place and didn't know.

Huh? Afaik that image is black and white, looks very much like a print from an engraving, and is an aerial projection of the whole island complex...
Am I missing something?

Yes - the image looks like a view taken from a balloon or airplane - its a 3-D reconstruction.

FYI: "A view taken from a balloon or airplane" is commonly known as an aerial projection, EP...

And would you kindly point out how that illustration is a "3-D reconstruction"? I see only 2 "D"imensions.
If you're referring to the isobars: that doesn't make it a 3D reconstruction. It stays a 2D illustration!

Different "key" but probably playing a similar song.

Around 0 AD a village was founded on an island near what is now Charlotte Harbor on the southwestern tip of Florida. It was just one of many small fishing villages that composed what archaeologists label the Caloosahatchee Culture. The village slowly grew in population and evolved culturally to the point that it was the capital and major population center for a province that covered much of southwestern Florida. By the 1500s when the Spanish arrived in Florida, the Calusa People occupied coastal towns and villages from Tampa Bay to the Keys, and also had villages about half the distance inland to Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.

Yes, but the main mound on Key Marco was 3 to 4 orders of magnitude larger.

Maybe it grew over the centuries, millennia...? Like the main pyramid in Tenochtitlan. Mounds among people tend to do that!

Wow... I grew up skiffing and water skiing those bogs and lagoons a a kid. Jumped off more than a few bridges on a dare and never had any idea! Very cool...

Probably disturbed more than a few spirits in the mounds. Or maybe they were kindred spirits and enjoyed our exploits!

I'd go with number 2, Barry. But as the mound served as an emergency hurricane shelter, we should likely heed the warning. As you can see from the artifacts at Gainesville, Key Marco was hit by a Tunguska class blast as well. Funny how the name Calusa translates into "Star People" in the article.

Those Spanish archives undoubtedly hold a lot more...

We don't know. It is so large it is mistaken today for a naturally occurring feature, and not man made.

A simple drilled coring would clear that up.
