Reproduction perspective map of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, drawn and published by C. N. Drie in 1873. Norfolk was witness to the first battle between ironclad naval boats in the spring of 1862, when the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia fought the Battle of Hampton Roads off the northwest shore of the city's Sewell Point Peninsula. The city was surrendered to the Union forces in May, 1862 and remained under martial law for the duration of the war. This map captures the city as it appeared just eight years after the Civil War ended.
