There is good detail of the fortified Fort Clinton and its batteries. The legend identifies 43 important buildings; hospitals, magazines, cadet guard house, cadet laundry, hotel, stables, rail-road workshops, etc. The map is precisely and fully engraved. This early (May, 1883) edition does not have the red overprinting to locate the proposed new Academic Building and Gymnasium. Engraved from the original by H.C. Evans with title and lettering by E.A. Maedel.
