Description: Map of battlefield core and study areas. The revised Study Area includes routes used by the Federal army group as they pursued the Army of Tennessee from Rocky Face Ridge to Resaca. The main Core Area has been adjusted to conform to the heights west of Camp Creek, initially the location of Confederate defensive works and then Federal artillery. A second Core Area to the south of Resaca represents the action and Federal pontoon crossing at Lay’s Ferry, by which the 2nd Division successfully gained the flank of the Confederate position and encouraged Johnston to withdraw.
