"Map of Texas and Part of New Mexico complied by the Bureau of Topographic Engineers chiefly for military purposes, 1857" being a map from the "Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" (1891-1895). U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1895. Sheet 29"18". Plate 64. Published under the direction of the Hons. Redfield Proctor, Stephen B. Elkins and Daniel S. Lamont, secretaries of war, by Maj. George B. Davis, U.S. Army, Mr. Leslie J. Perry, civilian expert, Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, civilian expert, Board of Publication. Compiled by Capt. Calvin D. Cowles, 23d U.S. Infantry. This is an absolutely stand-out achievement in cartography and an essential element of the massive war records of the Civil War. The maps published in this atlas were tremendously detailed (depending of the scale). In general the maps locate topographic and geographical factors, plus railroads, forts, encampments, and in some cases when the scale allows, it is detailed to individual houses. It of course shows troop movements, battle positions, and lines of battle and its progress. The work done for the atlas is superb. Nothing is printed on the back of the map—the verso is clean and blank. FINE condition "This is the most detailed atlas yet published on the Civil War. It consists of reproductions of maps compiled by both Union and Confederate soldiers."--"Civil War Maps" by Richard Stephenson. 2nd edition. Scale: 10 miles to the inch. The very rare original map of 1857 is massively significant and probably somewhere in the vicinity of two orders of magnitude more expensive than this 1895 map—and no doubt worth every penny. There are two small inset maps that have nothing to do with the Texas map: "Plan of the Battle-Field at New Creek, W. Va., August 4th, 1864" and "Plan of the Battle-Field at Pleasant Mills near Cumberland, Md., August 1st, 1864".…
