About this gallery

Historical maps of America, drawn from the record

Gallery II follows American history across two and a half centuries. The American Revolution places the battles of the War of Independence across the thirteen colonies, 1775–1783. The Trails West follows Lewis & Clark and the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, Santa Fe and Pony Express trails, 1804–1869. The Presidents sets every holder of the office, from Washington to today, on one sheet.

Four maps cover the Civil War. The Battlefields of the Civil War places each principal battle listed by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission. The Union & the Confederacy shows the country as it divided in 1860–61, with each state's date of secession. The Great Campaigns traces the war's campaigns across the land, and The Civil War, Day by Day sets 379 dated battles on a single timeline.

Each map is drawn from published data: National Park Service records, USGS place names, Natural Earth coastlines and rivers, and Copernicus satellite elevation for the relief. Every source is credited on the product page.

Questions about these maps

Are these reproductions of old maps?

No. Each map is drawn new from research data (road and trail surveys, battle records, gazetteers and satellite elevation) and engraved in the manner of an 1889 atlas. Nothing is copied from an old map, and nothing on it is invented.

Which map suits a Civil War reader?

The Battlefields of the Civil War shows the whole war at a glance. The Great Campaigns shows how it was fought across the land, and The Civil War, Day by Day shows when each battle happened. Any two hang well as a pair.
