H. Bailey Westfield map are retailing from $14.95 to $69.95 (depending on size)at WardMaps.com. <BR/><BR/>The map is no longer covered under copyright and can be downloaded and printed at home for free from the Library of Congress web site. The link is in the source info at the bottom of the post.<BR/><BR/>I hope you found this helpful.<BR/><BR/>MarkMark T.
