Culp's Hill is a landform south of
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which played a prominent role in the
Battle of Gettysburg. It consists of two rounded peaks, separated by a narrow saddle. Its heavily wooded higher peak is above sea level. The lower peak is about 100 feet (30 m) shorter than its companion. The eastern slope descends to
Rock Creek, about 160 feet (50 m) lower in elevation, and the western slope is to a saddle with
Stevens Knoll (formerly McKnight's Hill) with a summit lower than the main Culp's Hill summit. The hill was owned in 1863 by farmer Henry Culp and was publicized as "Culp's Hill" ,by October 31, 1865.
