David,
You might want to contact Carolyn Kadri at the University of Texas at
Arlington Libraries at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>. They have
a large Mexican War collection in their special collections, and she is
the special collections cataloger and a map person. Yale also has a
large Mexican War collection.

I am trying to find out what maps the U.S. government (especially the
army) used in planning and executing operations in the Mexican American
War. The type of information I am looking for is what specific maps
military and civilian officials used, how they used them, and what they
thought of them. I am NOT interested in maps made after the war showing
military operations. This is a hard subject to get a handle on, but I am
hoping that some of you who are knowledgeable about the war can give me
some leads.
