Description: The plan depicts the city in November 1846 during the U.S. occupation. The camp of Furber's unit, the First Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers, may be seen along the river in the northwest (upper left) portion of the map. He also shows the camps of U.S. regulars as well as Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana regiments. Furber acknowledged a survey by Tennessee Mounted Volunteer Regiment Captain Milton A. Haynes (1814-1867), a West Point graduate, as the base for the map. Furber's accompanying narrative (pp. 188-241) includes an excellent description of the city, its fortifications, its inhabitants, and the vicinity around it in addition to details of camp life.
