Additional Information
Published in the midst of the American Civil War, this distinct map is a rare piece of American cartographical history. It has been a valuable tool for historians in documenting soldier casualties in the bloodiest battle of the conflict. Surveyor SG Elliott produced this map, which is unique in its depiction of soldier burial grounds. The battle was a turning point in the Civil War, which sparked President Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation Proclamation and effectively halted the Northern Virginian army’s attempt to invade the Union North.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee led his forces North after a victory in Chancellorsville in May of 1863 and met Union General George Meade’s troops on July 1. The two armies would clash in three days of fighting that saw heavy casualties on both sides resulting in the eventual retreat of Lee back to Virginia. With more than fifty-one thousand troop casualties from both sides, this was the costliest battle of the entire Civil War.
Elliott’s map has been used by historians to develop a better understanding of the clash, and the way the battle unfolded by providing names of fallen soldiers, burial locations, and which states they had come from. Another notable feature of this map is the illustration of armaments such as rifle pits, which also proved invaluable in developing a scope for the strategies used by both armies. The distinguished aesthetic of this map sets it apart from other plans of the era, and it immediately transports the viewer back in time.
