Unlike the battle maps on the same board, this view draws Gettysburg as a town seen from above at an angle, with buildings, streets, and surrounding farms shown in miniature. Bird's-eye views like this were popular in the late 1800s, when artists and publishers sold them to show a town's growth and civic pride. The 1888 date places the view 25 years after the battle of July 1863, when the town was known as much for its battlefield and national cemetery as for its college and its farm trade. Looking closely, you can see how the town's layout still followed the roads and ridges that shaped the fighting.
