- Description:
- Hand-drawn map of Cobb County south of Marietta, Georgia, created by a Union spy. The map was created for the Army of Ohio under General Schofield as they advanced towards Atlanta after the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. The points on the map are the homes, plantations and buildings of residents, identified by surnames. "Wid" stands for widow. The square and cross symbols indicate churches, and the wheels and spokes symbols indicate soldier positions. These soldiers are usually positioned next to mills or industry for shelter and protection. The map includes towns, hills, railroads, and rivers, including the Chatahoochee River.
