Additional Details

Published during the height of the American Civil War and defining the Union and Confederate states with green and pink wash.

First edition with date-correct territorial border arrangements: West Virginia is not yet separate from Virginia, New Mexico and Arizona are within one wide expanse, there is no Montana Territory, Idaho Territory is without its northern portion but encompasses a large area to its east (later Wyoming) - great changes to these particular political divisions would occur the year this map was published or very shortly thereafter.
