Shows District of Columbia and street grids for Washington and Alexandria. Many of the forts and roads within the District are shown in color. Very detailed including forested areas and farmsteads. An important map for understanding the field of operations in northeast Virginia during the Civil War. It is the most interesting of the 14 maps included in the report of the Army Chief of Engineers and consequently often suffers abuse, this example being in remarkable condition.
