“Map of Isle of Wight and part of Nansemond”

I wanted to emphasize the degree of detail in Gilmer maps so I linked this image to the TIFF file on the Library of Congress website. Smaller files are available on the map’s main page. Text from the catalog record indicates that it shows “roads, waterwys, structures, towns and land owners, railroads and geographic features.”

The Gilmer Civil War Maps Collections at the University at North Carolina includes “161 maps representative of the entire southern region, with particularly large groupings of North Carolina and Virginia maps. Most of the maps are dated 1861-1865.”

The same map can also be viewed with other digitized maps in the USMA [United States Military Academy] Library Digital Collection that come from the USMA Library Special Collections. The digital image (color) is displayed upside-down — probably a human error. Just use the rotation areas to correct it.
