Drawn from an elevated, oblique viewpoint, this panoramic map shows the Gettysburg ground as a soldier or civilian of the day might have seen it from a height, with the land's ridges, farms and roads laid out in one sweep. The battle was fought July 1 to 3, 1863, when Union forces under George Meade met Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia around the town. Look for Seminary Ridge, Cemetery Ridge and the rocky heights of Little Round Top, the positions that shaped the fighting. Maps like this helped the public follow news of a battle that became a turning point of the Civil War.
