HFC-Produced Publications

Map created by Harpers Ferry Center for the Stones River National Battlefield brochure.

Maps

The maps produced by Harpers Ferry Center are precise, accurate, and up-to-date representations of the national parks and the areas around them. HFC cartographers, working with park staffs, are selective in what they include in the maps, showing only what is needed to help the visitor at the park and the reader at home. The resulting clean and uncluttered appearance, the use of shaded relief to indicate terrain, and carefully chosen colors make them attractive and easy to use.

The historical maps illustrate such concepts as the route of Coronado’s expedition, the stages of the siege of Vicksburg, and the course taken by the Johnstown Flood.

Most official National Park Service maps have been converted to digital files. These maps are available for downloading in both Acrobat PDF and Adobe Illustrator formats from the NPS Maps section of this website. These digital files can be put to any number of uses by parks: conversion to black and white for use in the park newspaper or in a site bulletin; adaptation for use in an indoor exhibit, wayside exhibit, or AV presentation; or enlargement for use as a visitor center wall map. They can also be used by commercial publishers. NPS Maps »
