I would like a map of the abandoned Belleville Branch of the AT&SF Railroad. Can you tell me how to get one or where to find one. Thanks!

I know the route well having hunted evidence down where I can: what stations there were, where grade crossings existed, etc. But, I have never seen a proper printed map other than an old map of the city of Belleville itself which can be found at the Republic County Historical Museum in Belleville.
