J.E.B. Stuart's Line. In 1864, Telegraph Road continued northward uninterrupted. Today I-295 breaks Telegraph Road and divides the Confederate line in half. Stuart placed Lomax's brigade along the portion of Telegraph Road that you just drove. He positioned Wickham's brigade on the wooded ridge across I-295. Lomax's troopers faced the approaching Federal columns on the Mountain Road, while Wickham's cavalrymen held a position on Sheridan's left flank.
