The brochure's real subject is the park's own map, which set out the battlefield's ground for visitors in 1982, the year the park was in the middle of its long transition from a Civil War battle site to a managed historic landscape. Gettysburg National Military Park had been administered by the National Park Service since 1933, and printed guides like this one were how most visitors learned to read the three-day battle of July 1863 across the rolling fields, ridges and stone walls. Look at how the map marks the monuments and the tour routes, since the layout reflects decades of decisions about what to preserve and how to walk the ground.
