"Phil Laino's Gettysburg Campaign Atlas has long been considered as one of the finest and most detailed sets of maps on the Gettysburg Campaign. There are several other books that offer maps on the campaign, some of which are in full color, but no book to date contains as many maps of as many actions and tactical segments as does Laino's classic work. I have found it to be indispensable as a resource to understand battlefield movements by time segments (particularly on the often-confusing second day of the battle of Gettysburg).

I've also found the Savas Beatie Military Atlas series (written by Bradley Gottfried) very good and competitively priced. I'm only half-way through the one on Gettysburg but so far it's good.
I especially enjoyed their one on First Bull Run. |
