Its catalog record places it among the broad maps of Gettysburg, the Pennsylvania borough where Union and Confederate armies fought from July 1 to 3, 1863. Maps like this one served different purposes over the years, from guiding officers and reporters during and after the battle to helping veterans and tourists trace where regiments had stood on ridges, orchards and open fields. The record does not name a mapmaker or a date, so its exact origin is unclear. Its wide scope, however, reflects how the surrounding countryside, with its roads, town and rising ground, shaped the fighting and how it was remembered.
