Based on Crozet's maps of 1848 and 1859, West & Johnson's 1862 map was the first Virginia map published after the state's secession and the outbreak of war. It (and later editions) became the standard maps of this crucial theater of the conflict, and, with the shortage of detailed local maps for military use, it was frequently employed by the Confederate Armies in the field.
