Scarce Version with an Early Montana Territory

"Johnson's New Military Map of the United States Showing the Forts, Military Posts &c. with Enlarged Plans of Southern Harbors...", Johnson and Ward

This is the more desirable issue of this Civil War period map, with the state and territory borders instead of the Military Districts. It is also the scarcest version of the map dated circa 1864, with Montana Territory being named but not delineated from Idaho Territory. The large western territories include Dakota, Idaho (incorporating present-day Wyoming), Montana, and a truncated Nevada with Arizona encompassing the region containing Las Vegas. Hundreds of military forts are located. The map has at bottom and right nine inset plans of the major towns and harbors including Hampton Roads, Charleston Harbor, Key West, Baltimore and Washington.
