Rather than a flat street map, this view shows Gettysburg from an elevated, angled vantage, so the town's streets, churches, and surrounding fields appear as they would to someone looking down from above. Bird's-eye panoramas like this were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when artists drew towns in careful detail for civic pride and for buyers who wanted a recognizable portrait of their community. Gettysburg was a market and college town before it became famous for the three-day battle of July 1863, and the landscape in views like this carries that history: the ridges and open ground that later became battlefield are visible in the surrounding countryside.
