A smaller section of a larger 18 x 18 inch folding map of North Carolina being marked and manufactured as "Colton's North Carolina - 1861 Published by J.H. Colton 172 Williams Street, New York." This war map is from the personal effects of Major Leyden of the 3rd New York Cavalry, who was stationed in New Berne with this regiment. In period ink on the reverse, it is marked "New Bern, North Carolina June 1862." The map shows cities, major roads, railroads, streams, etc. It shows all of North Carolina and its coast, as well as most of the state of South Carolina.

Using the map's scale and New Berne as a reference base, Kingston is measured as being approximately 35 miles west with Goldsboro, North Carolina being approximately 58 miles west. Goldsboro was the regional rail hub for the Wilmington & Weldon RR running north/south towards Petersburg, Virginia. Trenton was a short 20 miles west of New Berne. This was part the military zone that the 25th Mass would help contribute towards patrolling.
