The Angle. A
panoramic view compiled from five photos. The view begins looking south on Hancock
Ave. on the left, continues past the "Copse of Trees" beyond the cannon in the
foreground, and ends with a view west on the right. "The Angle" itself is
where the stone wall turns south at the tree near the left side of the photo. The
Codori Farm is to the left of the large stone monument marking The
Angle. Follow the line of the stone wall on the left side of the photo across
the fields to the Virginia Monument topped by Lee at the far treeline (the white spot in
the photo).

have seen it.

This view of the the field
of Pickett's Charge was taken from the National Tower back in 1976. The Cyclorama
building is the rather large light-colored cylindrical shaped building near the right edge
of the photo. The road just beyond the Cyclorama is Hancock Avenue. The Angle
is just off Hancock Ave. near the center of the photo. The Charge began at the
treeline on the far side of the striped fields. The Virginia Monument is at the
treeline near the right edge of the photo. Meade's HQ is the small white building at
the intersection near the lower center of the photo. |

This is a close-up view of
The Angle, with the Codori Farm just beyond, taken with a telephoto lens from the National
Tower in 1976 (the central portion of the photo above). The road nearest the bottom
of the photo is Hancock Ave. The Angle is marked by the stone monument at the end of
the road which forms the loop off of Hancock Ave. (near the single tree right of
loop). The loop road has since been removed, its location is visible as the darker
grass in the panorama taken by Jim Lamason in April 2000. Gen. Meade's monument is
visible near the bottom center of the photo. The red buildings of the Codori Farm
are partly hidden by the cluster of trees near the center of the photo. The
Emmitsburg Road runs through the center of the photo from left to right. Don't be misled
by the apparent distance from the Angle to the Codori Farm, the optical effects of the
telephoto lens have foreshortened the distance. |

Another view from the
National Tower taken in 1976. This view is looking approximately SSW. Meades
HQ is visible at the intersection of Hunt Ave. and Taneytown Road near the lower right
corner of the photo. The tree-covered Big Round Top protrudes above the horizon line
in the near distance, Little Round Top is difficult to discern due to the trees.
