The Prarie Grove maps.....
Are the best looking yet. I've driven through Arkansas in winter and it looks just like that. The Secessionville maps also look just like the barrier islands south of Charleston. Just magnificent work. You guys keep getting better.

Another factor I must research as the ACW spread over several winters and some States can get cruelly cold.
