GDG- Pipe Creek where are the maps?

[jack]

That's my understanding also. He did a lot of maps. His encampment map can 
give ou a biirds eye view of Civil War defenses, sanitation etc.
His collection is at the library of congress site. It is a good place to 
start for an overall view of most operations. Unfortunately, the "invasion 
map" is not there.

I think his Valley map is considered the Crown Jewel. I know that it is used 
as an interpretative tool by the NPS. A copy is laminated to a sign on the 
road through the park above the valley. In it's own way, it is as profound 
as the opening bit at Ft. McHenry.

Regards,

Jack
