Southeast Sector Revisions

The southeast sector of the campaign map has been challenging.  There were a few errors (Parker's Hollow should have been Parke's Hollow and Blues Gap is actually much further south at Hanging Rock), and the combination of crossroads, mountains and valleys make it hard to combine simplicity, a limited number of maps, and scale. In the end, I am going to add Edwards Run, in an area north of Parke's Hollow. The modern name for the populated place in that area is Cold Stream.  I am placing Blues Gap further south at Hanging Rock (the site of a skirmish during the historical Bath-Romney Campaign) and will reconfigure Parke's Hollow slightly to pick up crossroads on both the east and west sides of Grape Ridge.

I doubt there will be much action in this sector during the simulation, unless the Federals are able to get around the Confederates and make a run on the supply line at Cacapon Bridge (now called Capon Bridge.)
