Drawn from an elevated angle, as if seen from a hilltop or in flight, this view lays out the entire field at once, from the ridges and wooded slopes to the town itself. The battle was fought over three days in July 1863, when Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia met George Meade's Army of the Potomac, and its outcome ended Lee's invasion of the North. Pictorial maps like this one became popular in the decades after the war, when veterans, visitors and townspeople wanted a way to picture the ground where the fighting took place.
