This is an uncommon map by Major General Gilmer, who was in charge providing detailed maps for use by the Confederate Army. It is a good example of the painstaking detail his surveyors gathered, covering an area 22 miles x 16 mile wide. Richmond and Manchester are located at top with Petersburg at bottom. Rail lines lead from Petersburg to City Point at the confluence of the Appomattox and James Rivers. Numerous fortifications are shown along with locations of residents, towns and railroads. This edition was copied from Gilmer’s original and lithographed by H. L. Penfield of New York.
