Above we show a Sketch of the Civil War in Alexandria & Fairfax Counties., by V. P. Corbett. It was created in 1861.
Arlington County (Va.).
This map has moderate to heavy foxing. It shows Washington DC in the upper part of the map, and the Potomac River. The long bridge is shown, along with the city of Georgetown. It shows the name and positions of troops, regiments, and leaders deployed south of Washington DC, to defend the area. The map shows railroads, roads, and waterways. The map has incredible detail of this key strategic area at the time of the start of the Civil War.
We have compiled this collection of photos mainly to serve as a valuable educational tool. For questions or comments about this digital archive, contact curator@history-map.com.
