Engineer John W. Newman created a survey map or plats throughout the Expedition, and he probably maintained his own notes or diary during the trip. On March 22 there is one mention of both an engineer's report and a plat. Although Newman's report and map are referenced in multiple sources, the location of the originals cannot be determined. At least one copy of the map was given to Florida Land Commissioner Louis Wombwell, and another copy or copies were given as part of an affidavit that Newman submitted to the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1894.
