The National Archives' cartographic section contains approximately 8,000 Civil War maps, including both manuscript and printed maps and plans. The manuscript maps include pencil sketches and original pen-and-ink drawings as well as processed maps with annotations in ink or pencil. Many of the Civil War manuscript maps and drawings are unique to the National Archives, while a variety of the printed maps are more common and can be found in other large repositories such as the Library of Congress.

Overall, the holdings of the Cartographic and Architectural Section of the National Archives include over 15 million maps, charts, aerial photographs, architectural drawings, patents, and ship plans, constituting one of the world's largest accumulations of such documents.
