MASSIVE Map of Gettysburg and Approaches.

Published by The Military Engineer,, 1925

A Map of Gettysburg and Approaches. From: The Military Engineer, the journal of the Society of Military Engineers, published at the Mills Building, Washington, D.C., 1925-1927. +++This is a massive map of Gettysburg, in 12 colorful sections, published 1925-1927 in issues of the Military Engineer, printed by the War Department Corps of Engineers, with the map measures about 40 square feet--it is a superb wall map for "historians and war games" (according to the journal). The maps are printed in color, include contour lines and all manner of human geography, in very high detail, including individual houses. +++The map is in 12 section on 8 separate sheets, with the bottom two thirds of the 3 section x 4 section grid being two maps on one sheet. Each map section print-line runs 23x17" (excluding margins etc.), the whole measuring about 70"x 68". All together, the map covers a piece of ground 23 x 23 miles, with 3" equal to about 1 miles (scale 1/21120). This is simply a terrific map. +++Condition: I'd say this was overall in Very Good condition, though the maps are clean, very bright, and very crisp--I doubt that they were opened very much at all (judging by the difficulty in opening them now). The major detriments are the occasional tears in the sheet folds. Currently they are folded, as issued, though I'm very tempted to open, flatten, and repair them so that they are ready to hang.
