In Response To: I.T. Map? ()

In my opinion, none oif the maps are "good" and certainly not complete. With that said, I think the Henry Jackson map is best. There is
Also an 1867 map I use. The only surveys were of the military roads and the boundaries. Most of the maps are based on previous maps.
Errors get perpetuated from map to map. The OR maps seem very imprecise. There are many routes mentioned in the ORs and other correspondence that don't appear on any maps.
The maps in modern secondary sources aren't too bad but contain errors, some from the period maps.

I guess I'm not helping much but I don't think any of the maps are completely reliable. "Someone" should create a good reliable map.
