Michael Francis, Executive Director of La Florida and the Hough Family Endowed Chair of Florida Studies at USF St. Petersburg and his students have created La Florida, which through short videos, interactive maps and digital reconstructions, brings to life the diverse melting pot of people that made up early Spanish Florida, from Spanish conquistadors and Native Americans to free and enslaved blacks and Europeans from Germany, Ireland, and Eastern Europe.

I found of interest the 1605 Map of Florida showing the mouth of today's St. Johns River as the Rio de San Mateo (English Saint Matthew River), just north of Saint Augustine. The 1602 map shows the origin of the Rio de San Mateo as a lake to the west of St. Augustine, apparently today's Lake George. French Fort Caroline after its capture by the Spanish was renamed Fuerte de San Mateo and the river it was on Rio de San Mateo. Later the river was called Rio de San Juan, today's Saint Johns, Spanish Juan becoming English John, French Jean. What is most unusual is that some later European maps of the 1600s-1700s have Fort Caroline in Georgia instead of Florida. I have 4 articles on the internet on Fort Caroline's whereabouts, just Google "Mattfeld, Fort Caroline" for these early maps, 1562-1780.
