This is from today's Live Science:

"In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War in 2011, the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA) has put together a historical collection of maps and documents prepared by the U.S. Coast Survey during the war.

The almost 400-piece collection, called "Charting a More Perfect Union," will be available free online through NOAA's Office of Coast Survey to researchers and those who may want to visit famous Civil War battlegrounds and areas in national parks."
