Implications for Your Artillery & Map Overlay

• The Northlake ridge artillery position sits squarely between:
  
  • Greene’s withdrawal route through Wagon Road—to the northeast, via Salisbury, to the Yadkin crossings
    
  • Cornwallis’s advance westward, including Cowan’s and Beatties Ford and the Charlotte area
    
• This makes it a key observation and rear-guard point — able to see both armies’ movements and exert potential fire coverage or warning in either direction
  
• In your overlay, we can include:
  
  • Two movement arrows:
    
    • Green for Greene: from Charlotte northeast via Salisbury to Trading Ford, then toward the Dan River/Guilford
      
    • Red for Cornwallis: from Charlotte westward toward Cowan’s and Beatties Ford, then northeast toward Salisbury/Shallow Ford
      
  • Milestone markers: Charlotte, Salisbury, Yadkin crossing, Guilford Courthouse
    
  • Artillery cone overlay: positioned on ridge, sweeping both movement paths
