I am new to this forum and would appreciate any guidance and/or suggestions.

As a hobby, I have written and published a couple of books related to Civil War battles that occurred in my native state of Arkansas. My mapmaker has unexpectedly passed away and I am in need of a set of maps for my newest book on the Battle of Poison Spring, Arkansas fought in April of 1864.

What I am looking for is a software program that would enable me to create basic black and white maps that would illustrate specific troop movements to correspond with the narrative.

I am attaching a copy of one of the maps that appeared in my first book on the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas.

Basic maps are acceptable but it's imperative the reader is able to follow the action of the conflict.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.Click image for larger version.
