it's also not clear of the necessity. pieces in active military service 
are not likely to be mapped.
likewise, pieces in use by re-enactors are going to be moved around. i 
can think of a small
number of pieces that are more-or-less static and occasionally fired, 
but it's such a small number...
the cannons scattered around the NPS battlefield parks are nearly all 
disused, as are the
cannons on courthouse lawns all over the country. the only static piece 
in the US that jumps
out at me as being actively fired on occasion is the rear 3" mount on 
the USS Slater in Albany NY.
