Note:
While this is based on the Freyhold "Military Map of the United States" of 1869, it has been completely redrawn and enlarged, adding much of Mexico and British North America to the original map, as well as an inset map of the West Indies. Topography is no longer shown, but the Military Forts are prominently displayed in red overprinting with flags. In the west there is much new road development. Majority of map is printed in full color in shades of tan; the States are bordered in red and Indian Reservations are identified with shading. Not in Wheat or any standard references. Map is dissected into 16 sections, mounted on linen, and folded into unlabelled brown cloth end sheets 33.5x23.
