Summary
[edit]| Title |
English: Map of Texas and Part of New Mexico, 1857, compiled in the Bureau of Topographical Engineers, chiefly for Military Purposes |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Although not published until 1891-1895, this map of Texas and New Mexico was based upon information compiled by the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers by 1857. From 1862 in manuscript form, Union General N. P. Banks, commander of the Union Department of the Gulf, utilized it for planning and military operations. Not surprisingly, there is a wealth of militarily important information here: forts and military camp locations, river crossings, and navigation notes, local crops, and water. Exploration, survey routes, and travel problems are identified along with two inset battleplans. |
