description

Summary

Shows railroads, forts, location and dates of engagements, state and county boundaries, roads, towns, and rivers.

Scale ca. 1:1,880,000.

"Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1862, by Thomas Kimber, Jr."

LC Civil War maps (2nd ed.), 44

Description derived from published bibliography.

Available also through the Library of Congress Web site as a raster image.

The Geography and Map Division has another copy which has been annotated in color to indicate "gauges of southern rail roads." The additions were "compiled under direction of Lieut. Col. J. N. Macomb, A.D.C., Chief Top. Engr." and "corrected to date Feby. 9th 1864." The map was addressed to "Mr. Nicolay," apparently John George Nicolay, President Lincoln's private secretary. The copy is partially mutilated; three of the four corners are missing.

Listed in A. M. Modelski's Railroad maps of the United States (Washington, Library of Congress, 1975), no. 142.

For 1862 edition, see Civil War Maps entry no. 31.5.
