Battle
of--"Chickamauga"--Sep. 19th & 20th 1863 / under Col.
W.E. Merrill. Merrill, W. E. (William Emery), 1837-1891.
CREATED/PUBLISHED [1864] NOTES Relief shown by contours,
spot heights, and gradient tints. Shows roads, rivers,
and streams. Does not show troop positions. Note at upper
left: Companion sheet to the other map marked No. 61--The
other map represents the positions of the troops at the
battle of Chicamauga [sic], the roads, woods & fields,
but does not represent the irregularities of the surface.
This map represents the roads, rivers, and irregularities
of the surface as developed by contour lines and heavy
tints on the lower portions of the ground, the highest
elevations being untinted. The two maps are from the same
original and agree exactly in the roads and streams. This
map was prepared as a guide to the draughtsman who might
be employed to prepare the complete map of the Battle
of Chicamauga [sic]. By carefully studying the contour
lines and tints on this map an accurate map with hachures
may be made of the ground. If then the locations of the
troops are taken from the other map the battle map will
be complete. W. E. M. [i.e., William E. Merrill].
