"Map of Florida and the Caribbean" is a notable historical map created by the French cartographer Guillaume Le Testu in 1566. This map is significant for its detailed depiction of the Florida peninsula and the Caribbean islands during the Age of Discovery, a period marked by European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Le Testu was known for his expertise in navigation and cartography, and his works contributed to the understanding of the New World's geography among European navigators and explorers.

The map is drawn in the distinctive style of 16th-century French cartography, with elaborate illustrations and ornate details. It features a combination of accurate coastlines, based on the navigational knowledge of the time, and speculative geography, reflecting the limited information available to Europeans about the interior of the continents. Notably, the map includes various place names, some of which are still in use today, and others that have since been replaced or fallen out of use.

Guillaume Le Testu's "Map of Florida and the Caribbean" is an important artifact that offers insights into the early European perspective of the region. It serves as a valuable resource for historians and cartographers studying the evolution of mapmaking and the European encounter with the Americas. The map is also an example of the artistry involved in cartography before the advent of modern mapping techniques, showcasing the blend of scientific knowledge and artistic expression characteristic of Renaissance mapmaking.
