1918 Map of Vicksburg
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Vicksburg riverfront is defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River and the Yazoo River, showing the dramatic shift at Centennial Lake and the Diversion Canal that altered the city's waterfront. The rugged terrain east of the city is dominated by the Vicksburg National Military Park, while the surrounding lowlands are marked by extensive agricultural holdings like Taylor Plantation and Williams Plantations. This survey captures the region's intense reliance on both water and rail transportation, with the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and Illinois Central railroads providing critical inland connections.
