Hal Jespersen’s Cartography Services — Free Wikipedia Maps

Valley map

This page offers over 200 maps I have created for American Civil War battle articles in Wikipedia, almost always for articles I wrote myself. They are available to anyone to use or publish under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which means that if you use them—either modified or unmodified—you must abide by the terms of that license and attribute the images to me with the text “Map by Hal Jespersen, www.cwmaps.com.” It is not necessary for you to contact me in advance for permission to use the maps under these terms, although I always enjoy hearing about how my maps are used.

My free full-color Wikipedia maps are suitable for use as-is on websites or in PowerPoint presentations, but may require minor content or formatting changes to render them acceptable for black and white publication in books. I used to offer a service to do these modifications for a modest fee, but I have discontinued that option in favor of offering only versions done in my current style. Contact me for a quote.

The source files listed below as “AI5” were created in Adobe Illustrator CS5, “AI6” in Illustrator CS6, “AI CC” in Illustrator CC (Creative Cloud 2014, v18, or later). The graphic files—click on the thumbnail to access—are all in PNG, which is a lossless format for high fidelity images. A small number of these maps are rendered with shaded relief backgrounds, which I created from USGS national elevation datasets and then processed with Adobe Photoshop prior to importing them as a background into Adobe Illustrator. The Photoshop PSD files associated with these images are not included below. Please contact me if you would like to discuss the process for modifying these maps. The “Recent Update” column represents only changes after April 2, 2011. (Note that I update the thumbnails shown below only when there are significant visual changes that might show up in the tiny images.) Those maps with italicized names are obsolete versions, replaced by maps with similar names, but are kept here so that Wikpedians can still access them.
