Vicksburg National Military Park dominates the southern landscape of this 2018 survey, preserving the terrain where crucial Civil War sieges unfolded. The northern boundary of Vicksburg is clearly delineated, showing the city's growth into neighborhoods like Kings and Walnut Hills. To the north, the Yazoo River winds through a complex system of bottomlands, oxbows, and wetlands, including Twin Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Goose Lake. These features reveal the dynamic hydrological history of the Delta region, where the river's movement has shaped the land and its subsequent settlement.
