Rather than a view of the ground itself, this is a map that traces where the opposing lines stood during the fighting of July 1863. The battle raged across the town and surrounding ridges from July 1 to 3, pitting Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia against George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac, and it ended Lee's invasion of the North. Although the map was made in 1922, about six decades after the battle, it presents the positions as they were later reconstructed, which helps explain how the terrain shaped the outcome.
