In the Civil War battle that took place at Gettysburg in 1863, the Union and Confederate lines were positioned in a roughly northeast to southwest line. Anchored in the south in rugged hills, the two forces occupied parallel ridges that extended north towards the town of Gettysburg itself. In the northern end of the line, the Confederate position curled around the Union defenders in what is often described as a "fish-hook" shape.
