Hal Jespersen's Cartography Services — Free Wikipedia Maps
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." Please note that recent versions of these files have rather sophisticated, detailed background information on major battlefields, such as fences etc. If you take advantage of the source code versions of these files to create your own derivative maps with these backgrounds, you must continue to attribute your new map to me, with text similar to "Based on 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 available for download are Adobe Illustrator files; some of these require Illustrator CC (Creative Cloud 2014, v18, or later). The graphic files—click on the thumbnail to access—are usually in PNG, which is a lossless format for high fidelity images. Some 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. I have tried to remember to embed the Photoshop PSD files associated with these images inside the Illustrator files. Please contact me if you find one I have missed. The "Recent Update" date 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.)
Update August 2022: I have recently decided that a PDF version of the map can be more useful than a PNG file. When you hover over the thumbnail text will appear indicating whether it is a PNG or a PDF.
Update January 2023: I have been culling the older, less sophisticated versions of my maps from Wikipedia, but those versions are still around on my system. If for some reason you need the older version, please contact me.
Update June 2026: I have reorganized the table a little bit to make it easier to view on small devices. Also, please note that I have not updated some of these maps on Wikipedia in a long time. The way the Wikimedia Commons works sometimes disallows me from updating my own maps. I have lost interest in supporting that bureaucracy.
