7. July 2 Position of 107th NY
The regiment occupied a position overlooking Spangler's Meadow, oriented to the east, on July 2, until ordered with the rest of Ruger's Division reinforce the Federal left flank. Ironically the Division arrived too late to influence the battle in that sector, but their absence on Culp's Hill allowed the Confederates to gain a foothold on the Federal right. The low mounds in front of the monument appear to be reconstructions of the earthworks used in the battle.

In the morning phases of July 3, the 107th was stationed along Baltimore Pike near the modern day intersection with Hunt Avenue. From this position, the regiment supported two batteries of artillery positioned nearby, which covered the southwest flank of Culp's Hill.
