Gettysburg Crop Map

Hello All:

Does anyone know where I can find an online copy of a map that shows the crops present at the time of the battle? Either the Warren Survey Map or E. Cope Map?

Thanks.
Brian

Nope. Good question.

May I ask why? I'm guessing if anyone has this it would be @Tom Elmore

Don't know if online, the maps made by McElfresh appear to be based on the maps you referenced.
In addition, research also included information from various sources. That being said, I cannot attest to the accuracy and defer to those more knowledgeable. I will say the maps are well done and if accurate, are a handy resource.

This is the only one I have seen. You can use the side bar to overlay all the crops or just corn, etc. I don't know if this CWT poster is still active or still updating this map. Here are the links:

I used to have a crop map of the battlefield that I purchased at the Park many years ago, but cannot locate it at the moment.

Farms of the Gettysburg Battlefield

Cornwall Iron Furnace
Oct 12, 2022

Gettysburg was a pivotal battle of the American Civil War, and it was fought on Pennsylvania soil. Historians have written about the commanders, George Meade and Robert E. Lee, and about the various military units, the tactics they employed, and the mistakes that they made. Few people however have told the stories of the 2,400 people who lived in the town of Gettysburg and the surrounding farms in 1863. War came to the doorsteps of these unwitting civilians and changed their lives forever. Please join the Cornwall Iron Furnace Associates and Tom Lehman for this presentation about the Farms of the Gettysburg Battlefield. This slide illustrated talk will give information about 14 farms, their owners, and their role in the July 1863 battle.

The presenter, Tom Lehman, is a resident of Minersvillage who has volunteered as a guide at Cornwall Iron Furnace since 2009. Tom has had a lifelong interest in the Civil War and has a special affinity for Gettysburg. Tom has been active in learning and teaching about the Civil War for almost 50 years. He began as a reenactor in 1976, has lead Gettysburg Battlefield tours for students and adults, and has been the program chairman for the Hershey Civil War Round Table for the past eight years.

Take a walk with Licensed Battlefield Guide Larry Korczyk through the farmlands of Gettysburg and examine the battle's aftermath.

Prior to achieving his license, he worked for more than 30 years in the logistics industry as a manager at two large distribution centers. While still living and working in his native state of New Jersey, Larry became an active Civil War reenactor for the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry. Today he lives in Gettysburg, serves on the board of the Adams County Historical Society, and has conducted hundreds of tours on the battlefield.

I've been using the 4 map set by Thomas Desjardin published by the Gettysburg Foundation in 2011. I bought it at the Gettysburg visitor's center about 7 years ago. Tim Smith said in one of his videos that it was out of print.
