This interesting and historical set of Civil War maps is rarely offered together. The first map is dated Dec. 31, 1860 and shows South Carolina as the only seceding state. The detail in the West includes the location of Army posts, routes of early explorers, U.S. mail routes, the Santa Fe Trail, Pony Express Route, etc. Succeeding maps reflect changes each six months in Department Boundaries, status of Confederate States, territorial boundary changes, and notations regarding the operations of Union Army forces. This represents the complete collection of maps as published with the last map dated April 9, 1865. The collection includes the dates Dec. 31, 1860; June 30, 1861; Dec. 31, 1861; June 30, 1862; Dec. 31, 1862; June 30, 1863; Dec. 31, 1863; June 30, 1864; Dec. 31, 1864; and April 9, 1865.

Very nice examples considering these are usually seen on poor paper that is brittle and toned. The April 1865 map has creases in blank corners at bottom.
