Battle of Raymond Page4

(1-01) The view is looking north from the approximate center of the Raymond Battlefield. Fourteen Mile Creek runs across the photo in the distant background. The green arrow is pointing to the SH-18 (Utica Road) Fourteenmile Creek Bridge. The red arrow points to a silver water tower standing near the site of Confederate Capt. Hiram Bledsoe's three-cannon Missouri battery. The battery covered the bridge across Fourteenmile Creek
