If you plan to visit Antietam National Battlefield, or if you are reading an account of the battle, purchasing this map would benefit you tremendously. On one side of the map is a topographic map of the area, showing the boundaries of the park as well as the surrounding area. Historical homes and farms are marked on the map, as well as the position of every mononument in the park. Being able to see the topography of the battlefield helps you understand how the battle developed. On the other side of the map is a complete Order of Battle for both armies (wargamers take note!) as well as a concise summary of the battle. Several useful tables and charts are included as well. The bottom line is that this is a "must-have" for visitors to the park or for anyone reading about the battle.
Ask any Civil War enthusiast who enjoys touring battlefields what they think of the Trailhead Graphics Battlefield maps and more than likely you will hear great praise. Their maps are an indispensable tool for anyone planning to tour our National Battlefield Parks and this map of Antietam is no exception.The maps are useful in so many ways both for the experienced and novice battlefield explorer. Besides showing the general layout of the battlefield in a topigraphical format, it also shows the location of all the monuments and markers on the field. This is extremely helpful in either finding that monument you seek or finding out what that monument you see in the distance is without making the long trek all the way over to it. On my very first trip to Antietam a few years ago I was on the hills above Burnside Bridge. On a hill in the distance I could see a monument. Curious I pulled out my Trailhead Graphics map and was easly able to identify the monument.The maps are also waterproof which is important as battlefield exploring is an outdoor hobby. I've had my maps get rained on more than once and the water just runs off them.Lastly the maps are useful for armchair battlefield explorers as well. I've more than once been reading a Civil War book and broken out my Trailhead Graphics map when the author hasn't provided good enough maps in their book.
very helpful map
