This is the more desirable issue of this Civil War period map, showing the state and territory borders instead of the Military Districts. It locates forts, camps and military posts throughout. This map shows the transitional western territories as they were during 1864, with an early configuration of Arizona Territory, a huge Idaho Territory, and only one Dakota. West Virginia is shown just after its 1863 division from Virginia. Nine insets of southern harbor towns are arranged to the right and bottom: Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Key West, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans. The map retains the 1861 copyright date below the title.
