This rare large-scale map of North America during the Civil War depicts not only the land of the United States and Mexico but also data and decorative details. Such details include portraits of American generals and cabinet members, images of battles and camp life, and census information from 1863. This map was made to be easily rolled up and tied so that it can be taken with a person on their travels.
