[[Image:Plan1812-halfres.jpg|thumb|right|''Plano, Panzacola, 1812''The Pintado plan]]The '''Pintado plan''' is a street map drawn in [[1812]] by [[Vicente Sebastián Pintado]] in , Surveyor General of [[1812Spanish West Florida]]. It was published The very lengthy but full title of the following year under the title map is:'''''Plano, Borrador del nuevo proyecto para el arreglo de dos plazas en la Poblacion de Panzacola, 1812'''á los extremos oriental y occidental de la actual determinacion de la extension de cada una y la posicion y dimensiones de los Solares para fabricar el Templo y otros Edificios publicos''.
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 7<sup>0o</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 is held in the collections of the [[Wikipedia:George A. Smathers Libraries|George A. Smathers Libraries]] of the [[Wikipedia:University of Florida|University of Florida]].
