This document is a map of Charleston Harbor depicting the major waterways and various forts in the area, among these is Fort Sumter. On the map it states that the map has been, "Copied by direction of Rear Admiral J. A. Dahlgren." The water on the map has been hand-colored in light blue ink. Signed "[Charles V. Bartelle], Asst. U.S. Comm. Survey." A note, "from the best information," is handwritten underneath the title (apparently not in Bartelle's hand).
