There have been a number publications that tell you where U.S. military
posts were located--some provide more specific locations than others.
The best general publication is U.S., Adjutant General's Office, List of
Military Posts, etc. (Washington, DC: The Government Printing Office,
1902).  You can find citations to many other useful publications in my
United States Coast Defense, 1775-1950: A Bibliography (Washington, DC:
The Government Printing Office, 1985) and Military fortifications: A
Selective Bibliography (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1992).  A variety
of records in the National Archives will also help you find the location
of U.S. military posts.  If you have any specific questions, feel free to
contact me.
