Here's some maps for you to work from:
http://www.gettysburgphotographs.com/index2.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gettysburg
http://www.brotherswar.com/Gettysburg_Map.jpg

I think the important thing would be to try and represent the ridges and hills well since they offer significant strategic value.

OK... I am pretty darned new to CC, but my friends and I fussed with variant Risk maps on paper before I found this site. I have made a Gettysburg map for miniatures wargaming... would this be helpful? I am NOT computer savvy, but have some mapping skills via being an RPG DM... My wife is currently working on her US History master's with a Civil War focus. Somewhere in all of that I would hope I could be helpful, but I'm not sure, as this is the first day I've even looked at a thread. I would love to see a battlefield of Gettysburg, though. Is there a space for me in the project?

Idea is good, but you haven't given us anything to comment on really. Without an actual map with territories and continents, you won't get much if any support.

I know you have a few ideas/maps going, but I'd say concentrate on one of them.
