The terrain varried much. Some battles, such as the battle of the wilderness, were fought in dense woods and underbrush. Others, such as fredricksburg or gettysburg, had long open plains that soldiers would fight on. Soldiers also had to deal with rivers, mostly using pontoon bridges to cross. West of Washington there was the Shenandoah valley, that was bordered on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains. All of these terrain features had a major affect on how the war played out.

The climate also varried, with the seasons (obviously). In the summers it got very hot, making fighting exhausting and the winters got very cold. The soldiers would stay in winter quarters, taking a break from fighting.
