THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION CIVIL WAR MAP 1867 ANTIETAM 1862HARPERS FERRY SHARPSBURG MAP This plate 29 came from The Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The Atlas was published between 1891 and 1895 and is the definitive source of Civil War Information available. This Plate contains the following maps Plate XXIX 1.BATTLE FIELDS HARPERS FERRY AND SHARPSBURG Sept. 13 to 17 1862 2. ATIETAM 1867.At the conclusion of the Civil War, the U.S. War Department published numerous detailed battlefield maps and atlas to document significant military engagements such as those at Antietam, Manassas, Gettysburg, and Atlanta, to name a few. The premier cartographic work of the postwar years, however, is the U.S. War Department's Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (LC Civil War Maps no. 99). Initially issued in 37 parts between 1891 and 1895, it includes 178 plates and constitutes the most detailed atlas yet published on the Civil War. The maps present an especially well-balanced cartographic record of the war because both Union and Confederate sources were used in their compilation. Confederate topographic engineer Jedediah Hotchkiss, for example, supplied the editors with 123 maps for this atlas. After peace came in the spring of 1865, another fourteen years were to pass before Congress established the beginnings of a national topographic mapping program with the creation of the U.S. Geological Survey. It was many years, therefore, before modern topographic maps became available to replace those created by war's necessity. The maps of the Civil War are splendid testimony to the skill and resourcefulness of Union and Confederate mapmakers and commercial publishers in fulfilling their responsibilities. All maps are matted shrink-wrapped to fit 24" x 36" frame. All matboard, tape, mat board backer board and shrink-wrap are acid free.
