Confederate Lines
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: January 5, 2008
Caption: Confederate Lines
Additional Description: Here along Virginia Highway 20 (looking east back at the Mine Run Bridge), at the high ground west of Mine Run, the Confederates built several fortified artillery positions to cover the valley of Mine Run. The berm here is not natural or part of the fortifications, but rather a modern excavation of a pumping station.

CR 692 closely follows the trace of the Confederate line of defenses on the west side of Mine Run. While several traces of earthworks exist along the woods and fields, these remain on private property.
