Battlefield in a Box

[infomanpa]

Does anyone know what the green cords represent on this "map?" I have figured out all of the colors except for the green. These visual aids are part of the Battlefield in a Box demo held periodically by the NP rangers.

I haven't got a clue but I can definitely see a wonderful example of some knot tying, I'm pretty sure that I can spot a round turn two half hitches in there somewhere also a fairly good example of a reef knot.

No clue either. I've been looking at old maps trying to match things up and nothing. It will probably seem obvious once someone come along and points it out. Was there a specific topic that was include in the talk or just a general overview?

It was a general overview to the battle. I was a few minutes late, so I missed his descriptions of the ropes/cords.

I would guess one of the green cords represents Rock Creek, and the other the railroad line that terminated in the town, although their placement is a bit off.

Well I hope someone who knows comes along soon!

Looks like Baltimore Pike and perhaps Wheatfield Road.

The view is looking West, with North to the right. Agree with @Tom Elmore that the green rope running North/South would be Rock Creek, and the other probably the railroad. Compare:

The "Big Round Pot" and "Little Round Pot" are inspired.

I had myself turned around. Now that I'm properly oriented, I agree with this.

I also agree. I didn't figure that the ranger would use the same color for a railroad and stream.
