Back map: Colonel Thomas J. Cram, a topographical officer at Fort Monroe, compiled this manuscript map of southeastern Virginia early in 1862. It was on this section of Cram’s map that General McClellan planned his Richmond campaign, initially to begin from Urbanna (top right center), then shifted to Fort Monroe (lower right).
