The Battle of Perryville, KY, fought on October 8, 1862. Historian Kenneth W. Noe describes Brig. Gen. George E. Maney's final repulse as the "high-water mark of the Confederacy in the western theater, no less important than the Angle at Gettysburg."[49](Wikipedia)

Once again there seems to be no absolute consensus, but at least three reputable sources cite the Battle of Perryville as the high-water mark in the western theater.

Chickamauga.

Edit - Another player has presented a source confirming that Chickamauga has been referred to as the high water mark of the Confederacy in the West, so you get credit for a correct answer.
