So I was always looking for a map to use while playing AACW that was both high resolution, but reasonably low density (in terms of stuff actually shown on the map) and I came across this:
(high res version can be downloaded here: http://www.loc.gov/item/99447086)
I then did some work to it, based on the old AACW map:
-marked all existing (as actual structures on the AACW map) towns on the map more clearly and improved the clarity of their name
-marked state capitals and important towns distinctly
-marked all forts existing on the AACW map with a different icon
-traced all AACW map railroads in green and removed all railroads that don't correspond to AACW map (with very few exceptions)
-traced all AACW map rivers in blue, which included adding in some rivers
-added an overlay for West Virginia to mark it as a Union State
The result is this:

My next task is to update it for CW2, but I haven't gotten around to that.
Has anyone come across a similar map that extends further west (again, being both high res and low density)?
Anyway, I thought I'd share, as I've had fun plotting my campaigns on this
