This
CD contains 39 rare historic maps and descriptive pages representing
fascinating details about Mississippi and its vicinity during
the Civil War in MrSid format.
This
format allows you to see the entire map on your computer screen
or drill down to see the smallest details. The original maps
are often quite large, as much as 36" long or larger
and quite detailed. With the MrSID software, you can manipulate
the map to print the entire map in great detail or zoom into
a portion of the map in full detail for viewing or printing.
You could even bring the images to a local print shop to have
the maps reprinted in their full size. (MrSID software is
included on the CD.)
To
give you a sample of the detail you can expect in these maps,
here is an example based on a panoramic map of Washington,
DC.
The
table below shows the description and a small image of each
map on this fascinating civil war history CD.
