The links did not show up properly in the DMU archive. I will try once
more:

Original Fluvanna 1863 map from LOC.gov:
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S?ammem/gmd:@field(SUBJ+@od1(United+States--Virginia--Fluvanna+County+))

My converted JPG:
http://home.comcast.net/~davidmartin/Fluvanna_1863.jpg

If the links contain <> characters again, just copy/paste the portion
between them into your browser's address field.
