Looking north, at the H.P. Bottom House, from the hill between Loomis's Heights and Peters Hill. Doctor's Creek runs across the middle of the picture, from left to right. The sloping ground on the other side of Doctor's Creek reflects the ground defended by Lytle's Union Brigade against the concentrated efforts of Confederate brigades under Pat Cleburne and Bushrod Johnson

Again looking north, this time from the current-day barn at the H.P. Bottom House. The barn, during the battle, was located to the west of here. Slocumb's Confederate Battery of the Washington Artillery located near here, after Lytle's Union Brigade was pushed off of Loomis's Heights
