Description: Map of battlefield core and study areas. The ABPP revised the 1993 Study Area and Core Area boundaries. A Core Area was added to represent the primary fighting at Reynold’s Plantation, a few miles north of Buck Head Creek. The Core Area delineated in 1993 represented the fighting at the creek itself, a tactically important holding action but one that was secondary to the fight at Reynold’s Plantation. The ABPP expanded the northern portion of the Study Area to include the new Core Area and to represent the Federal withdrawal. Kilpatrick withdrew in order to put distance between his force and the Confederate cavalry he believed was in pursuit.
