Excellent download, Greg and love the Native American names like Chokoloskee Bay---kind of like Chickahominy River, and can only imagine what places like these must have been like about a thousand years ago! Take care
So glad you enjoyed Corky, greatly appreciate it, thanks so very much. Chokoloskee Island, where I lived before Irma destroyed my home, is the largest inhabited indian mound in Florida. The Calusa Indians built the island by hand, using shells to dig up mud and sand and pile it up to form the island, Through found objects and carbon dating, it is estimated the the Calusa began construction 3,000 years ago and completed the island about 2,000 years ago. So one thousand years ago it was a thriving community with more inhabitants then there are today. There are some elevations as high as twenty feet. So many of our names are derived from our indigenous peoples
