Caption: Left Flank of Pipe Creek Line
Additional Description: In the closing days of June 1863, General Meade ordered the concentration of the Army of the Potomac along Pipe Creek in order to block any Confederate move toward Washington, D.C. or Baltimore, Maryland. Under Meade's plan, the First Corps, under General Reynolds, would occupy the far left end of the line. Their tentative position was just north of Middleburg, on the high ground overlooking Big Pipe Creek. That ground is in the distance of this view from the road near the marker.
