Capt. L. Rousseau, Commr H. A. Adams, and Lieut. S. Johnston Survey of the Harbor of Memphis. Tenn.
Secreetary of the Navy 1843 Map Very Good
"Made in obedience to an order from the Secretary of the Navy. Print size - 15"x10.5". Leaf size - 16"x 12". Mississippi River harbor survey in preparation for the construction of the Memphis Navy Yard. The short-lived yard was created largely as political pork project to mollify Southerners and Westerners who saw little regional benefit in the maintenance of a strong naval force. For more information see, "A Naval Depot and Dockyard on the Western Waters: The Rise and Fall of the Memphis Naval Yard, 1844-1854" by Stanley J. Adamiak in The Internation Journal of Naval History, Vol 1, No. 1, April 2002. Ample margins. Clean with some mlight toning. Several squared folds, so probably from a book or monograph.
