This map is based on one found
in Wilson Greene's new book on the last days of
the siege, Breaking the
Backbone of the Rebellion (see
page 98).
The area
covered in this map is the area fought over at
the Battle of Peebles Farm in September and
October, 1864. This also is the area in which VI
Corps made its decisive breakthrough on April
2nd, 1865.
To orient
the reader relative to other actions discussed on
this site, the Globe Tavern fighting took place
at the spot marked "GT;" the Peebles
Farm battle was approximately at the spot marked
"PF." The two actions along Hatcher's
Run occurred just off this map to the southwest
(lower left). The VI Corps breakthrough occurred
at the spot marked "B". Forts Whitworth
and Gregg, scenes of savage fighting later on
April 2nd, are also marked on the map.
Confederate Lieutenant General A.P. Hill was
killed, approximately, at the spot marked
"AP".
