A printed map rather than a photograph, this 1885 sheet lays out the Gettysburg battlefield and its surroundings with the troop positions for July 1 and July 3, 1863, the first day of fighting and the final day of Pickett's Charge. Maps like this were made in the decades after the war, when veterans, families and military historians wanted a clear picture of how the armies had been arranged across the ridges and farmland south of town. Its value lies in showing the terrain as well as the lines: the converging roads into Gettysburg, Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill and the long ridge south toward the Round Tops, all of which shaped the three-day battle.
