The Federal defensive line ran NE and SW through here. Ft. Casino was on the hill to the west, Fort Negley to the northeast. Garrisoned on Dec. 2 by Schofield's XXIII Corps, it was occupied by Croft's Provisional Division when the battle began. The XXIII Corps moved out in support of the main effort, 5 miles southwest.
