The Civil War Trust and its partners have preserved more than 1,000 acres at Resaca
Although the current I-75 has destroyed most of the historical terrain, including the location of the majority of the Confederate earthworks, the Civil War Trust and its partners have been able to salvage a sizable portion of significant land at Resaca. The Georgia Battlefields Associations sought to acquire 505 acres of the Camp Creek valley that are now a state battlefield park between 1998 and 2000 in collaboration with Friends of Resaca Battlefield.
Gordon County acquired an additional 65 acres in 2003 from the location of Fort Wayne, which was initially constructed by the Confederates in the summer of 1864 to protect the bridges over the Oostanaula River and then upgraded by the Federals. Finally, in March 2011, 483 acres of land east of I-75, along the Confederate right line, including the location of Van Den Corput's battery, were also able to be saved thanks to a lot of work on the part of the Civil War Trust and their partners (in this case, the Trust for Public Land, the American Battlefield Protection Program, and the Gordon County government). Therefore, The Civil War Trust and its partners have preserved more than 1,000 acres at Resaca.
