Magnus's county map of the United States, showing the forts, railroads, canals, and navigable waters. Published to trace the progress of operations by the government, as they occur, during the War of the Rebellion.
This high-quality reproduction of an original Civil War era map shows maps during the American Civil War, around 1862.
Originally created to document battlefields, troop positions, fortifications, transportation routes, and strategic geography, it now makes a striking piece of historic wall art.
We do not digitally restore or alter these maps. All original details are preserved, including fold lines, ink marks, handwritten notes, age toning, and small tears or imperfections. These authentic signs of use are part of the map's story and character.
Each print is produced at 24 inches on its longest side (either width or height). The other dimension is scaled proportionally based on the original map, so the full image is shown uncropped. Your map arrives ready to frame.
Perfect for:
- Civil War history buffs and collectors
- reenactors and battlefield visitors
- teachers, classrooms, and libraries
- museum gift shops and local history displays
- anyone who loves detailed historic maps and wall art

All Sanborn map prints are produced at 24" wide × 30" tall unless otherwise noted in the description above. The actual map image area measures 24" × 28", leaving 1" of extra space at the top and bottom to allow for easy trimming or to help center the map in a standard 24×30 frame. This ensures a frame-ready experience without the need for custom sizing.
🖼️ Other Print Types:
In addition to Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, we also offer bird’s-eye views and other illustrated cityscapes. These prints are produced on 24" × 36" premium paper. To preserve the original proportions, we never crop — each image is centered with balanced white borders as needed to maintain its full composition. Please refer to the product description above for any specific size or format details.
📜 Historical Reproduction Notice:
These are high-resolution scans of original maps that are often more than 100 years old. As a result, you may see signs of scan lines, fold lines, Library of Congress stamps, ink marks, fading, or light creases. These unique characteristics are part of what makes each print historically authentic and visually engaging.
🎨 Color Accuracy:
Please note that colors may vary slightly from what you see on your screen due to differences in display settings and printed ink on satin photo paper. While we strive for excellent fidelity, no two screens—or printers—render colors identically.
📦 Safe Shipping:
Every map is carefully rolled and shipped in a 24" heavy-duty cardboard tube to prevent bending or damage during delivery. This ensures your print arrives safely and ready to frame.
🗺️ Map Accuracy & Availability:
These historic Sanborn Fire Insurance maps are reprints created from Library of Congress materials. While we work hard to include every available sheet, some titles or years may not display every page due to upload limitations or gaps in the source data. This applies to both single map sheets and complete sets, which may include title pages, index sheets, and more. We continually review and update our catalog to correct missing, broken, or misidentified uploads as we find them. Please review the preview images carefully — what you see here is exactly what you’ll receive. If you believe a sheet is missing or something doesn’t look right, please reach out — we’ll gladly research it and make it right.
