The United States Military Academy, West Point, has posted more than a thousand military campaign maps used in their course "History of the Military Art". These are organized into Atlases, such as the Korean War and the Chinese Civil War.

I do wish they were higher resolution though, although I've only looked through a few of the WWII ones so far.

Oh, I think I have some of these in printed form. Nice to see there are more than I knew about.

Low resolution is the modern fog of war.
