"This map shows the battlefield as it was May 15, 1864.
It is based on the Woodstock, Va., sheet of the U.S. Geological
Survey as shown in the subsketch [inset]. The woods, orchards,
houses and other cultural features are by Frank J. Bushong,
the best living authority, confirmed by Mr. Hupp, of Sperryville,
Va., who also pointed out on the ground the Imboden-Boyd
action of May 13, 1864. The places where certain ones
fell are from lifelong residents of New Market, who were
there on the day of the battle, and from J. H. Dwyer,
of Woodson's Missourians." Shows troop and artillery positions,
roads, drainage, vegetation, and relief by contour lines
and hachures. Fifty important points are keyed by number
to a list to the left of the map. Inset: [Topographic
map of the Shenandoah Valley extending from Rinkerton
