Figure 1. Map showing the distribution of major terrain features in the vicinity of Fredericksburg and the two armies on the battlefield. FP refers to the flood plain of the Rappahannock River, which, although present, is not apparent on the west side of the river at this scale. This map is based on 30-m (98-ft)-resolution digital elevation data. Terrain features having dimensions smaller than 30 m (98 ft), such as much of the flood plain on the west bank of the Rappahannock River, are therefore not shown. |
