DESCRIPTION : THE MAP COVERS VIRGINIA, INCLUDING WHAT IS NOW WEST VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA. IT WAS ONE OF A GREAT NUMBER OF MAPS OF THIS AREA PUBLISHED DURING THE CIVIL WAR TO FILL THE NEEDS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR INFORMATION ON THE WAR AREA. THE TITLE DATA INDICATES THAT THIS WAS THE MAP USED BY GENERAL SCOTT IN PLANNING HIS VIRGINIA CAMPAIGNS, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NO INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION OF THIS STATEMENT. CONSIDERABLE INFORMATION IS GIVEN REGARDING ITS SOURCES IN THE MEMORANDA ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE MAP IS DIVIDED INTO COUNTIES IN THE DELAWARE AND MARYLAND STATES AS WELL AS IN VIRGINIA. MAJOR TOWNS, ROADS, RAILROADS, AND COUNTY SEATS ARE INCLUDED. THERE IS NO HYDROGRAPHIC INFORMATION. THE CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE BAYS AND RIVERS ARE SHOWN WITH PARALLEL ENGRAVED LINES. THERE IS A DOTTED LINE IN THE NORTHERN CHESAPEAKE CONNECTING PERRYVILLE, MARYLAND AND ANNAPOLIS WITH THE NOTATION "U.S. ROUTE DURING THE REVOLT IN BALTIMORE". "ROCK HALL" IS SHOWN AS "ROCK HILL", WHICH SUGGESTS THAT DESPITE ALL THE PROTESTATIONS OF ACCURACY IN THE MAP THAT IT TOO WAS HASTILY DONE TO MEET THE MARKET'S NEEDS. THERE ARE MANY MORE NAMES IN VIRGINIA THAN IN MARYLAND.

THE MEMORANDA INDICATES THAT THIS WAS WAS REDUCED FROM THE LARGE NINE SHEET MAP OF VIRGINIA, DONE PRINCIPALLY FROM COUNTY MAPS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF JOHN WOODS, AND THAT LLOYD USED OTHER MAPS AND SURVEYS BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERS, SOME FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT AND FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ALSO, H.S. TURNER'S MAPS OF ADJOINING STATES ARE SOURCES. THE RAILROADS WERE LOCATED FROM OFFICIAL TIMETABLES. THE MASON & DIXON LINE WAS USED, AND THE WESTERN LINE OF PENNSYLVANIA IS BASED ON WORK BY MESSRS. RITTENHOUSE, PAGE, ANDREWS, LUKENS, EWING, MADISON, HUTCHINS & ELLICOTT. DOCUMENTS FROM THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY ARE ALSO CREDITED AS SOURCES.

DATA IS FROM OBSERVATION OF THE COPY IN THE HUNTINGFIELD COLLECTION AND THE PHOTOCOPIES OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COPIES IN THE COLLECTION.
