Historical maps

Some of the maps researched for the story Black Mask & Pale Rider are slightly off in years, but as close to 1863 as could be found.  The map of Chicago, for instance, is before the Great Fire.  Carrollton is merely a dot on the map as I couldn’t find any maps of the city, and at that time, Carrollton was actually around 5 to 10 thousand in population.  Harrisburg was also difficult to find at the time, but at least it’s location was simple enough.

Carrollton, Arkansas, circa 1863

Chicago, Illinois, circa 1856

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, circa 1870

I also did some doctoring of the maps to make them look a tad aged, and give it the feel of a map carried in a ruck sack.
