Title: Map of the field of battle, Murfreesboro, Tenn., [1863].

Map, 1863, of troop positions during the battle of Murfreesboro in Tenn. Stating a scale of 1"= 1 mile, it covers an area extending from the community of Lavergoe southeast to Murfreesboro. The map notes the general positions of the Union troops when the fighting began; the first night of the battle, which the map identifies as the positions on Wednesday night; and the last day of fighting, identified as Friday positions. The map presents more detail on Confederate troops positions, than the Union troops. It shows Confederate forces at the same times as the Union forces, however, the different divisions are identified by the names of their commanders. Confederate commanders identified on the map include Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge, Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk, Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee, and Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler. To help distinguish between the opposing forces, the Confederate positions are depicted in red ink, while the Union positions are depicted in a faded black ink. The map also depicts different landmarks in the area, such as communities, turnpikes, dirt roads, the railroad, waterways, and a few residences. Landmarks on the map include the communities of Jefferson, Salem, and Stewartsboro; the Lebanon, Nashville, Eaglesville, and Versailles turnpikes; and Stone's River.
