Map to find #6



http://www.civilwar.org/battlefields/cedarcreek/maps/cedar-creek-animated-map.html

This is a map that I really like for many reasons. First it feels more like you are watching an introductory movie when visiting the battlefield. Second the battlefield is near my house and I actually volunteered at the National Park Service Visitors Center for the park one summer. In the visitor center was a scaled model of the battlefield that had small lights that moved across to show movement, with a guy narrating about the battle. When you hear it about 20 times a day, you learn about the battle pretty quickly.
