1973 Map of Chancellorsville

About this map

The Fredericksburg-Spotsylvania National Military Park dominates this 1973 revision, preserving the heavily wooded landscape of the Wilderness. The map meticulously records the intersection of military history and local geography, showing preserved Battle Trenches alongside markers like the Jackson Monument and Wadsworth Monument. Beyond the park boundaries, the industrial legacy of the region is evident at the Jackson Furnace and nearby Furnace Ruins along Lewis Run. Small crossroads communities like Wilderness Corner and Cookstown are charted alongside rural landmarks such as Wilderness Ch and Paynes Store. The Rapidan River forms the northern boundary, while the interior is etched with family-named terrain like Hamiltons Thicket and the path of the Old Grade Railroad.
