==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)
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).
The map itself This is held in the collections result of the a Spanish decree dated [[Wikipedia:George A. Smathers Libraries|George A. Smathers LibrariesAugust 14]] of the , [[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>[Wikipediahttp:University //www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Florida|University of FloridaCongress)]].</ref> ==References==<small><references/></small>
