Confederate Army Maps Available at American Memory

The Hotchkiss Map Collection contains cartographic materials created by Mjr. Jedediah Hotchkiss (1828-1899), a topographic engineer in the Confederate Army. The most renowed work from this collection are the battle maps especially those of the Shenandoah Valley which were used by Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Thomas J. "Stone Wall" Jackson. Besides civil war maps, Hotchkiss created post-war maps on the railroad industry, mineral and mining, and other geological features. The collection consists of 341 sketchbooks, manuscripts, annotated printed maps, and the cartographic originals.
