This rare, separately-issued French map illustrates the divisions of the United States during the Civil War with a color-key at bottom distinguishing Mexico, Etats de l'union (Union), and Etats separatistes (Confederacy). The map also features pre-Gadsden Purchase boundaries, with odd configurations for California and the large western territories of Washington, Oregon, a huge Utah, Kanzas, Nebraska, and New Mexico. The map is based on Dufour's Mexique Antilles, Etats-Unis… map from the Atlas Universel.
