E Harmon Farm

[Gettysburg Bullet]

Anyone know how many acreage of the E Harmon farms was? Boundaries. Did it reach to Herrs Ridge road?

I do not know the acreage or the exact boundaries. I have attached a map of the July 1 battle taken from Codex 99 that clearly shows the Emmanuel Harmon farm buildings due west of Gettysburg. What follows is my best guess. The eastern boundary was Willoughby Run. The fence lines are shown on the map. I am guessing the western boundary was the fence that enters the woodland where Pettigrew's intermediate position is shown. That would not reach Herr's Ridge Road. Perhaps @pamc153PA or @Tom Elmore could weigh in with better information.

The Gettysburg portion of the Codex 99 has a series of digitized historic maps of the battle. See link below:
