[[Image:WellgeMap.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Overview of the Wellge map]]
The '''Wellge map''' is an aerial rendering of Pensacola created in [[1885]] by [[Henry Wellge]]. The extremely detailed lithograph is a bird's eye perspective of [[downtown Pensacola]], then a bustling port city.
A legend, directory and numbered points of interest line the bottom, along with inset illustrations of three locations: the [[New Continental Hotel]], the [[Navy Yards]] and the [[Merchants' Hotel]].
The map was published by Norris, Wellge & Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wellge toured across the continent and created similar renderings for more than 150 cities.
