      I am reading up on ww1 and I think I am gonna start a project of some sorts and I need maps of parts of France, Belgium and other zones where there was fighting. Preferably black and white (so I can write stuff on it; arrows with army movements and the like) and enough topography. Anyone know where I can find such things? (Order or print them out myself) Sorry if this is a dumb question but I really would like to make a scrapbook with maps and info that learned from various books I have about ww1. I am searching for maps that are as neutral as possible; so not with any other info than just places and roads of that time. Thanks!

        On Windy select Outdoor map
        But this feature is only available via Windy App, not on website.

        Or similar:
        https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka?x=5.4316779&y=49.1835677&z=14&l=0

        You have also the Cartes d’Etat Major from IGN
        https://remonterletemps.ign.fr/telecharger?x=5.430926&y=49.188550&z=14&layer=GEOGRAPHICALGRIDSYSTEMS.MAPS.SCAN-EXPRESS.STANDARD&demat=ETATMAJOR$GEOPORTAIL:DEMAT

        And the old Cartes d’Etat Major 1820-1866. They could be interesting even if they are older than ww1.
