Johnson's New Military Map of the United States Showing the Forts, Military Posts &c with Enlarged Plans of Southern Harbors from Authentic Data Obtained at the War Department Washington. Johnson & Ward, 1862. 17 x 23.75 inches. Wonderfull example of A. J. Johnson's highly desirable Military Map of the United States. Created at the height of the Civil War, the map was issued by Johnson in order to capitalize on the general interest in the War. This is the more desirable of the two extant variants of this map. This variant, showing a layout of the states rather than military zones, offers a wonderful insight into the political situation shortly following the outbreak of the American Civil War. Shows the various states and territories along with several hundred forts and other military installations. Includes the briefly extant Confederate Territory of Arizona occupying the southern portion of New Mexico Territory. This interesting territory was declared by the Texan Confederate Col. John Robert Baylor in 1861 and was in theory extant until the end of the Civil War, but in fact recaptured by Union forces scarcely a year later. Some mild staining to centerfold. 1" repaired centerfold split. Couple of small spots in image; incidental light spot in margin. Near fine.
