1864 Military Map of New Mexico – Horn & Wallace Framed Reproduction

Framed reproduction of the Map of the Military Department of New Mexico, originally drawn in 1864 under Brig. Gen. James H. Carleton and Capt. Allen Anderson, 5th U.S. Infantry. This map was produced during the Civil War to document military forts, territorial boundaries, Indigenous lands, and geographic features critical to U.S. military operations in the Southwest. It was later officially published in the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies by the U.S. Government Printing Office in the 1890s.

This later reproduction was issued by Horn & Wallace, a mid-20th century Albuquerque publisher known for quality facsimiles of regional maps. The piece displays detailed engravings of forts, routes, tribal regions, and topography stretching across present-day New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and portions of Utah and California. Notable labels include “Unexplored” areas and historical place names such as “Old Mormon Fort,” “Comanche Country,” and “Apache Pass.”

A compelling educational artifact or décor piece, rich in frontier and Civil War-era geography.
