Additional information: According to "Uniform Buttons of the United States 1776-1865" by Warren K. Tice, "The Topographical engineers specialized in making maps to aid in selecting the best ground on which to fight and plotting routes for troop movement and concealment. The Army organized the original group as a part of the General Staff in 1813. In 1831, the Topographical Engineers became a separate Corps but was absorbed by the U. S. Engineers in 1863."
