View of the 49th New York monument on Neill Avenue (Lost Lane) at Gettysburg

Looking north from Neill Avenue into the woods that were the rear of the Confederate lines around Culp's Hill. Neill's Brigade of the Sixth Army Corps advanced from Baltimore Pike to this point on July 3rd to push back Confederate skirmishers who were threatening the Union line of supply and communication. The stone wall dates to the battle. Neil Avenue is almost totally surrounded by private land and accessible only by a narrow, unmaintained and almost unmarked right of way, leading it to be known as "Lost Lane."
