"Sketch of the Battle of Sacramento. Feb. 28th 1847", U.S. Government

This detailed and fascinating little map depicts the battlefield at the Rio Sacramento, south of El Paso, TX, showing the positions of troops with a legend that recounts the action. The Rio Sacramento is a small river just 20 miles north of Chihuahua in Mexico. The map notes that American forces numbered 924, Mexican troops 4223; one American casualty and 300 Mexicans killed. This map was included in the report to congress describing the progress of the Mexican-American War.
