Federals hold the railroad from New Creek Depot all the way to Paw Paw Tunnel. The railroad is open to Okonoko, with repairs continuing towards Little Cacapon Depot and Paw Paw. Federals also hold Taylor's Ford, Clasor's Ford, the Middle Fords (Mileson and Parker Road Fords), and Hanging Rocks.
The Confederates hold Points Cross Roads, Rannels' Tavern, Higginsville, Slanesville, Forks of Cacapon and Bloomery Gap as their northern line. They also hold Three Churches and Romney, including the covered bridge and Evans' Farm on the east side of the river at Romney. Confederates are in full possession of Glebe Ford and the farms immediately to its west. The Federals hold Purgittsville.
Lowell's Cross Roads, Spring Gap (inclusive if Critton and Mooreland) and Tate are considered "no man's land" at the start of the campaign.
