Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map of battlefield core and study areas.

The ABPP expanded the Study Area to include the Federal approach route from New Creek and the location of a flank attack against the Confederate position near Moorefield. The Federal advance on Moorefield closely follows modern Highway 220 and Route 28. The Federal flanking maneuver, which began in New Creek, followed Highway 50 to County Route 10, and then progressed down a series of smaller country roads before finally linking up with Route 55 to merge onto Cunningham Lane. In addition, the Study Area was also revised to include two separate Confederate retreat routes along Highway 220 and Route 55.

The Core Area was also expanded to include terrain covered in the moving cavalry fight.
