Upton’s Hill straddles the border of Arlington County and Fairfax County, Virginia at 38°52′27″N 77°08′47″W / 38.874279°N 77.146369°WCoordinates: 38°52′27″N 77°08′47″W / 38.874279°N 77.146369°W. The hill is generally conical in shape with its summit lying astride Wilson Boulevard at its intersection with McKinley Street. A large water tower now occupies and marks its summit.
A local stream called Four Mile Run defines the hill’s northern and eastern extent. Munson’s Hill (367 feet) is adjacent on its southeast, and Minor’s Hill (459 feet) is adjacent on its northwest. Its location overlooks Arlington County and the city of Washington, D.C.
The hill is occasionally identified as Upton Hill, and during the American Civil War many references to this and other slight variances were found in newspaper accounts and soldiers’ letters home.
