Plano, Panzacola, 1812

The Pintado plan is a street map drawn by Vicente Sebastián Pintado in 1812. It was published the following year under the title Plano, Panzacola, 1812.

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:

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.

Confusingly, what is now Seville Square is depicted as "Plaza de Fernando 70" (Plaza of Ferdinand VII), while the plaza to the west that currently bears that name is called "Plaza de la Constitución" (Constitution Plaza).
