The map-style view of the Battle of Gettysburg lays out the positions of the two armies that met in the Pennsylvania town in early July 1863, which makes it useful for seeing how the fighting unfolded across the surrounding ridges and fields. The Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia clashed there from July 1 to 3, and the engagement is widely regarded as the turning point of the Civil War in the East. Because the image shows both lines at once, it helps explain why the high ground south and east of town, including Cemetery Hill and Little Round Top, carried so much weight in the three days of fighting.
