'Lloyd's New Map of the Mississippi River' from Cairo to the Gulf, published by H.H. Lloyd and Co. of New York in 1863. The river cartographers were kept busy during the Civil War years. The combatants needed up-to-date maps, and there was an increased public interest resulting from mention of the river in war news as both sides sought to control it.
