Lloyd's New Military Map of the Border and Southern States

Lloyd's New Military Map of the Border and Southern States. Lloyd’s New Military Map of the Border and Southern States from 1865 provides a clear example of the territory held by the Confederate and Union Armies at the end of the Civil War. The red parts indicated Confederate territory, now very much reduced compared to the other maps, the yellow parts show areas gained by the Union Army since early January 1862 and the blue part shows the route taken by General Sherman’s troops during their march through the South. The green indicates the Union. This map highlights how divided the Border States were with portions of Missouri and Kentucky coloured to indicate Union occupation. Although these both remained in the Union, internal civil struggles threatened to divide the states and Lincoln campaigned hard to ensure these states remained together. By comparison, Virginia witnesses an internal secession in 1863 and West Virginia can clearly be seen here on this map as part of the Union. This map is one of the best maps in the collection that detail how far the Union Army went into occupying the Confederate states and reuniting the country.

The Model War Map

The Model War Map, giving the Southern and Middle States, with all their Water and Railroad Connections. This map, published by Prang in 1862, shows the eastern coast condensed so that the focus is on the middle states of America from Iowa to Florida. The map shows railway routes, though it is noticeable how many stop before reaching the left hand side of the map, highlighting how railway building across the country was ongoing at the time of the Civil War. The tables on the right hand side of the map detail routes and distances from major cities and towns, 1860 population statistics, the slave population of slave-holding states and the number of men eligible to vote in each state.

Phelps & Watson's Historical and Military Map of the Border and Southern States.

Phelps & Watson's Historical and Military Map of the Border and Southern States. This map, produced in New York in 1863 shows all the Confederate states, including a sizable amount of Texas, as well as the Border States of the Union. It is noteworthy that by this point in the war, Virginia has split into to, with the western half seceding from the rest of the state. West Virginia was admitted to the Union in 1863 and the map clearly shows the separation. The map also contains a list of the major battles from 1861 and 1862 in the bottom right hand corner.

War Chart of the Southern States.

War Chart of the Southern States. Published in 1862 by B.B. Russell in Boston, War Chart of the Southern States details the cities, towns, rivers, railroads and marked roads in the Confederacy (with the exception of Texas). The portrait at the bottom right of the map is of the Battle of Hampton Roads, which took place over two days in March 1862 off the Virginian coastline. The naval battle was famous for the fight between the USS Monitor, seen in the foreground of the image, and the CSS Merrimac (sometimes referred to as the CSS Virginia due to the fact that it was built from composite parts of Confederate ships). As can be seen in the image, these ships were ‘ironclads’, built with iron and steel armoured plates. Originally a British naval design, the Civil War witnessed the first clash of these ships at the Battle of Hampton Roads, resulting in worldwide attention on this aspect of naval warfare in America. Arguably the battle between the Monitor and Merrimac was the most famous naval event of the conflict and there are numerous contemporary cultural references to the engagement in items produced during the war. The battle itself was inconclusive, although the Union suffered more casualties than their Confederate counterparts. B.B. Russell
