XVI Corps Line of Departure

Supported by a division of Wilson's cavalry, A. J. Smith's Corps moved westward astride Harding Rd, displacing Ector's Confederate Brigade from positions across the pike northward to the west of Richland Creek. This brigade out posted the Confederate left flank; the main line was along Hillsboro Pike.

Marker is at the intersection of West End Avenue (U.S. 70 Spur) and Murphy Road, on the right when traveling south on West End Avenue.
