Confederate States of America Map of Virginia
Published in Richmond, Virginia, in 1862 by the firm of West and Johnston, this is a rare example of a state map produced by the Confederate States of America. In 1862 the Union Army was steadily advancing on the Confederate capital of Richmond. In order to help defend the state, Confederate general Robert E. Lee ordered his topographic engineers to prepare detailed maps of Virginia, such as the one shown here. |
