Bate's Division
The outer Atlanta defense line crossed Clear Cr. a short distance S. W. of Walker´s (or Jones´) Mill (just below the present R.R. bridge).

From this sector Bate´s div moved N.W. to attack Newton´s 4th A.C. div. posted on the ridge just above Collier Rd. Bate led off in the concerted attack by Hardee´s & Stewart´s corp.

Cheatham) ~ not actively engaged in the Battle of Peachtree Creek.
