Map Description
Two Historical Maps of the Battle of the Monongahela - July 9, 1755

American Colonial Wars, Western Pennsylvania

Illustrating:

Battle positions and movements

Actually a meeting engagement.

Advance guard fell back on main body, which advanced to support it.

Edward Braddock had adequate all-around close-in protection but lacked distant reconnaissance.

French and Indians

Militia fled at first contact.

Part of main body escape.

Rear guard took cover, held ground, and finally escaped.

Advance Guard, Flank Guard, Main Body, Rear Guard

Turtle Creek, Monongahela River

To Fort Duquesne, 8 miles / 13 kilometers (now Pittsburgh, Pa.)


Please Note

The notation/arrow on the original map was showing the direction to Fort Duquesne the wrong way.

We humbly intervened and it's now pointing down river.

Here's a Google map link to where Turtle Creek meets the Mon:

If you zoom out a couple of times you'll see downtown Pittsburgh on the left where Fort Duquesne was built.

Thanks for your mail, Rich, and also Bruce, long live the retirement of surveyors!
