Difficult
Most of this battlefield is hidden from public view on private property, or there is no safe place to park; otherwise it would be a full-blown “Sight.” One option is to read down to the start of “Crossing the Creek” (or have someone read it as you drive) and then approach up Highway 61, north from I-40/85. That way you can imagine the opening scenes of the battle as you pass those spots on your way to the coordinates.
The coordinates are at the dead end of a road off the highway, Woellners Way. Small vehicles can park there, but larger ones should park further back so they don’t block driveways at the end. This is the old highway, which means public right-of-way continues straight from the end of the road to the creek. Be aware most of the open area to the right is private property.
