Sandra,
  The Library of Congress has online a U.S. map dated 1863
<http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3700.cw0047000> and one dated 1857
<http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3700.ct000804>.  You can download the MrSID
file and using the free viewer from Lizardtech
<http://www.lizardtech.com/download/?x=2&p=16&o=1&titl=Download%20MrSID%20Viewer>
you can either print or break the TIFF file back out for various
uses. There is also an ActiveX plug in from Lizardtech, so you can put the
MrSID file directly in a MS Word or Powerpoint presentation.  Some Kinkos
can handle a MrSID file for printing.
