Identify a drawing of a fort

March 19, 2014 4:30 PM

My late father was interested in military history and history in general. He would sometimes draw the layout of forts, and I'm wondering if anyone can identify this one. Here is a photo, as well as a close up of the key at the bottom right.

The types of artillery seems to point to the American Civil War era.
