A key Civil War map that details the operations involved in the capture of New Madrid and Island No. 10 in the early months of 1862. The detailed map shows the troop locations, roads, houses, batteries and gunboats in the Mississippi. Skeleton town plans of New Madrid, Pt. Pleasant, Riddle's Point, and Tiptonville.
