Vintage 1864 Mississippi River Map

This 1864 map of the Mississippi River, from the Grand Gulf to Rodney, provides a detailed survey produced by the U.S. Coast Survey for military operations during the Civil War. It highlights the strategic importance of this section of the river, depicting fortifications, agricultural land, and significant geographic features. The map was crucial for the Union Navy’s planning and execution of naval operations in the area.

This map offers a fascinating glimpse into the military tactics and geographic challenges faced during the Civil War. It is a perfect addition for history enthusiasts, Civil War scholars, or collectors of vintage military maps.

I personally digitally restore and clean up the original scanned image, adjusting colors, exposure, and fixing blemishes to produce a high-quality print. However, to maintain the vintage look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.

What Makes My Prints Different

Sure, you might find similar prints elsewhere, but not all prints are equal. I use a high-end lab with professional photo printers, high-quality archival inks, and acid-free archival Lustre paper—a premium, heavier paper offering vibrant colors with a fingerprint-resistant, glare-free matte finish. Prints are available in all popular sizes; select your size when ordering. Please note that listing photos are low resolution, but high-resolution files are used for printing. Prints are unframed; frames shown are for illustration purposes only.

Shipping

Prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. They are shipped flat in a rigid box or rolled in a sturdy mailing tube, depending on size. Please refer to the shop’s policies for additional shipping information.
