July 9, 1864. Confederate forces withdrew to this side of the river near the state R.R. bridge. General S.G. French's div. (Stewart's A.C.) was posted above & below the bridge as a rear guard of Johnston's Army of Tennessee.

July 18. French's div. occupied the left sector of Atlanta's outer defense line — from the Old Marietta Rd. at Casey's Hill to DeFoors Fy. Rd. This line extended E. to Highland Ave. & was S. of & parallel to Peachtree Creek.

This marker is at the point where French's entrenchments crossed Woodall Creek. Casey's Hill is .9 mi. W.; Chattahoochee Ave. is a postwar road to the river at Bolton.
