The Tennessee State Library and Archives has launched an awesome
new project: The first of its kind in the nation, the Tennessee
Civil War Geographic Information System (GIS) Survey shows
hundreds of locations where Civil War battles, engagements,
skirmishes and other military actions took place. The
interactive GIS application for the Civil War in Tennessee is
now available at: The web site allows modern aerial photography,
street maps and land use maps to be overlaid onto sites where
Civil War actions occurred in Tennessee. It also links narrative
information about these events from the Tennessee Civil War
Sourcebook. Complete accounts of all the state units that served
in the war are searchable by county along with 1860 United
States Census data. This is one of the most comprehensive and
useful online historical tools I’ve ever seen. You can select
any engagement and get its location on a modern-day aerial,
street, or terrain map, along with primary source material;
instantly access unit histories relevant
