• Comment I love the earlier maps as well but I thought this was the best representative of the six available on LOC collection. All of his maps are works of art and historically vital. This one covers more territory, has much more information, and also is in color so a better choice aesthetically, IMHO. BusterD (talk) 18:24, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
