The CSS file linked in your page was shown as .txt. However, I found and
downloaded it and renamed it. As a consequence I have viewed your page the
way you intended, and have made a few small changes that allow the text to
go round a couple of images. Some images I downloaded, cropped and resized
to make them more user friendly. I haven't done anything with the images in
the bottom table, but I believe they would be better cropped and sized to
fit the 300 x 200 pixel dimensions of the table cells.

The Makemie Monument Park, Accomack County, Virginia map has been resized
and is linked to a larger file. The instructions are there when you mouse
over it.

A test file is at:-
