Prairie D'Ane Battlefield, Civil War battlefield in Nevada County, Arkansas

Prairie D'Ane Battlefield is a Civil War site in Nevada County featuring open grassland mixed with stands of pine forest. The landscape shows the natural terrain where soldiers moved across fields and through wooded areas during combat.

The battlefield saw a four-day clash between Union and Confederate forces in the spring of 1864. This engagement affected military decisions about controlling supply routes and territorial positions across the wider campaign.

The site holds meaning for the local community as a place where two opposing armies clashed and shaped the region's fate. Visitors walking through today can sense how this battle remains woven into how people think about their Civil War past.

The battlefield lies along the road between Elkin's Ferry and Washington, with the main ground around present-day Prescott, established in 1873. A railroad corridor and Interstate 30 cross the area, and much of it is cultivated farmland. The Moscow Methodist Church and Cemetery, which existed at the time of the battle, stands in the relatively unaltered Moscow area.

The terrain has remained largely unchanged since the battle, allowing visitors to see the landscape much as soldiers did about 160 years ago. This preservation helps people understand how the fighting unfolded within the actual geography where it happened.
