Federal forces moved south on this road in an attempt to outflank the Confederate defenders at Mill Creek Gap while two Federal divisions from the west also threatened the gap. These movements were intended to test the strength of Johnston's army at Dalton, which was said to have been depleted by a shift of Hardee's Army Corps to Mississippi. All attacks failed. Troops in this area included Cruft's division of the 4th Army Corps, Baird's division of the 14th Army Corps, and Long's cavalry. Five landmarks of the February operations in Crow Valley were the Crow House, the Davis house five hundred feet north, and the Burke house, spring, and log barn two miles northeast.
