Yeah I know the graves you refer to. I was a Land Surveyor in the 90's(I am again, it's great to have a job you love). We did some work up there, for some of that development. I was doing a Topo survey across 120 several miles from the park and came across some entrenchment lines. Alot of people don't realize that the whole region was a battleground, we can't rope it all off.

Land Surveying looks like fun (except in weather like we have today . . . or 95 degrees and 100% humidity) but I am math-impaired so it wouldn't do for me. When we bought our property I had a topo done to assist in landscaping, and it is fun even for the math-impaired to follow the contours.

And you're right about this entire region being a battlefield. The Battle (or Battles) of Atlanta were really a running fight all the way down the railroad from Chattanooga into the city. There are old entrenchments and stuff almost anywhere you look. Our house sits just south of the Chattahoochee River Line (just north of the river), and a house we almost bought up at the top of the hill has trenches and a gun emplacement in the back yard (at least it did - until the new owners built a garage smack dab on top of it).
