Additional Description: The large map above shows the general shape of the lines south of the Chichahominy River on June 27. On that morning (see inset), Porter’s Union forces abandoned this position and moved eastward, eventually taking an even stronger position behind Boatswain’s Creek four miles east of here. Lee’s army pursued on four parallel roads and reached New Cold Harbor in time to fight the Battle of Gaine’s Mill. The driving tour follows Porter’s line of retreat past historic Walnut Grove and Gaines’ Millpond to the Watt House.
