Field of Pickett's Charge	Sherfy's Peach Orchard
This was the general area where the right flank of Pickett's Charge started from. Pickett himself began the famous charge from near here.	Area of very heavy fighting on July 2, 1863. This orchard is now much smaller than it was at the time of the battle.

Just to the left of the red barn was where General Sickles received the wound that cost him his leg. This farm was the site of his field headquarters.	This is Plum Run approximately 1/2 mile from Little Round Top as it winds its way towards Devil's Den.
Devil's Den
This area called Devil's Den is over 180 million years old. It is part of the upheaval that created South Mountain to the west. The photo on the left is the entrance to the actual den site. The area is strewn with huge boulders piled on top of one another. The Union Army held this ground but was driven off by the attacking Hood's Division of the Confederate Army. Hood's Division was on their way to attacking Little Round Top.
Plum Run
Plum Run, known as Bloody Run at the time of the battle, ran red with blood, hence the name. This area is just east of Devil's Den adjacent to a part of the parking area. Today as you can see this is a lovely sight. It is one of our favorite places to explore.
The Famous Copse Of Trees	Codori Farm
This small group of trees was to be the conversion point of Pickett's Charge. This is some of the most famous real estate in the world and is known as the High Water Mark of the Confederacy.	The Codori farm as seen from just southwest of the Angle on Cemetery Ridge. This property is believed to be the area where Pickett saw his Division decimated at the climax of the charge that would forever hold his name.
Triangular Field
This area is called the Triangular Field. The Confederates swept up through this field on their way to Devil's Den and then on towards Little Round Top. Today this field is a peaceful, quiet, setting but was the scene of unimagineable horror on July 2, 1863.
