Above we show a rare Sketch of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States showing the loyal part, and the parts of the coasts of the rebellious states in actual possession of the U. S. troops Lith of J. Bien. It was made in 1862.
Coasts.
Map includes the following note: "This sketch was prepared to show at a glance the difference in extent of the coasts of the U. States occupied by the loyal men and rebels; its circulation it is believed will have the effect of counteracting the exertions of traitors at home as well as those abroad. Persons having correspondents in Europe would do well to send copies of this sketch to them for circulation. The figures ... show the depth of water. Geo. W. Blunt." Map does not outline states, but just shows coastal features.
