1962 Map of Vicksburg East

About this map

Vicksburg National Military Park dominates the northwest corner of this survey, surrounding the city and preserving the battlements at Fort Hill. The map captures the city during a period of mid-century growth, showing the concentration of institutional landmarks like Kuhn Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and St Aloysius High Sch. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Glass Bayou and Mint Spring Bayou, while the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a diagonal line across the eastern hills near Newmans Grove.
