The ABPP made minor changes to the 1993 Study Area. These include 1) adjusting the Federal and Confederate approach routes from the north on their historic alignments and lengthening these roads slightly to reflect the armies’ documented start and end points near Battlecreek Road; and 2) adding the Confederate retreat route to the south along which the weakened Confederates (Hood had ordered half of Hardee’s force to Atlanta the previous night) hastily withdrew under the assumed threat of Federal pursuit.
In addition, both the Study Area and the Core Area were expanded to the north to take in lands associated with fighting on September 1, 1864.
