1918 Map of Vicksburg
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
Vicksburg and its strategic riverfront dominate this survey, which captures the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River and Yazoo River confluence. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the floodplain to the west and the high Vicksburg Ridge to the east, where the Vicksburg National Military Park and National Cemetery are clearly delineated. Along the river's Old Channel, numerous agricultural sites such as Williams Plantations and Taylor Plantation sit near Little Cuba Landing, illustrating the region's deep plantation history. Significant civil engineering efforts are visible through the Diversion Canal and the historic Grants Canal, while the rail network including the Alabama and Vicksburg RR and Illinois Central RR marks Vicksburg as a vital southern transportation hub.
