Looking at the Bachelder map for 4:00 to 7:00 July 2, it looks like Bachelder has the entire 2nd GA Bn to the left of the 48th, when it was really in bits and pieces all along the brigade's line.  Plus, the map symbol he uses for it is too long, the same as the full strength regiments.   If you adjust for that, the brigade's line would actually just lap the 69th PA, and just about reach up to the Copse, but not beyond it.  In fact, given the limits of the symbols, I wouldn't necessarily rely on it to prove the brigade's line did actually extend into the 69th PA's front.
