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.
