Richmond appears in this 1863 panoramic map, drawn from an elevated viewpoint, at a time when the city had served for nearly two years as the capital of the Confederacy. The James River and the city's riverfront industry shaped both its commerce and its defense, and Union armies had repeatedly threatened the approaches to the city since the Peninsula campaign of 1862. Maps of this kind helped viewers grasp the layout of a place that was central to the war, and this reduced version offers a compact view of that setting.
