Historical Base Maps, Appomattox Manor - City Point Petersburg National Battlefield, Virginia 1860's

摘要

The report contains two historical maps. The first map is an illustration of City Point (Hopewell), Virginia as it appeared when it was the headquarters and supply depot of the Army of the Potomac in 1864-65. The second is of Appomattox Manor and a portion of City Point as it appeared in 1980 with annotations of developments at Appomattox Manor since 1865. City Point was not a static place in 1864-65, rather it was dynamic and changing. The narrative portion of the report discusses the various structures represented on the map.
