Editing Pintado plan

[[Image:Plan1812-halfres.jpg|thumb|right|The Pintado plan]]
The '''Pintado plan''' is a street map drawn in [[1812]] by [[Vicente Sebastián Pintado]], Surveyor General of [[Spanish West Florida]].

The very lengthy but full title of the map is
:''Borrador del nuevo proyecto para el arreglo de dos plazas en la Poblacion de Panzacola á los extremos oriental y occidental de la actual determinacion de la extension de cada una y la posicion y dimensiones de los Solares para fabricar el Templo y otros Edificios publicos''.

The plan was drawn after a Spanish decree mandated the renaming of plazas and streets within the town, as well the establishment of a new church and government buildings.  Pintado's plan received the approval of the city council on [[December 7]], [[1813]].<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Congress)]</ref>

Copies of the map are held in the collections of the [[Wikipedia:George A. Smathers Libraries|George A. Smathers Libraries]] of the [[Wikipedia:University of Florida|University of Florida]] and in the ''Vicente Sebastián Pintado Papers'' at the [[Wikipedia:Library of Congress|Library of Congress]].

==Streets==
The map depicts the street grid in the core old city of Pensacola; most of the grid and street names depicted are still intact today.  Among the streets named on the Pintado plan are:
*[[Palafox Street]] (Calle de Palafox)
*[[Tarragona Street]] (Calle de Tarragona)
*[[Alcaniz Street]] (Calle de Alcaniz)
*[[Romana Street]] (Calle de Romana)
*[[Intendencia Street]] (Calle de la Intendencia)
*[[Government Street]] (Calle de Gobierno)
*[[Church Street]] (Calle de la Iglesia)
*[[Commendencia Street]] (Calle de la Comandancia)
*[[Barracks Street]] (Calle de los Quarteles)
*[[Brue Street]] and [[Manressa Street]] are depicted at the top of the map as "Bru" and "Manresa"

What is now [[Zaragoza Street]] is not contiguous on the Pintado plan, but rather split among streets labelled "Calle de la Recova" and "Calle del Tivoli de Reding".  The shoreline is depicted near where present-day [[Main Street]] would be.

==Plazas==
Confusingly, what is now [[Seville Square]] is depicted as "Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>" (Plaza of Ferdinand VII), while the [[Plaza Ferdinand VII|plaza to the west that currently bears that name]] is called "Plaza de la Constitución" (Constitution Plaza).

This is the result of a Spanish decree dated [[August 14]], [[1812]], which mandated that Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup> be renamed Plaza de la Constitución and Plaza de Sevilla be renamed Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>.<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Congress)]</ref>
