The Vicksburg riverfront and its complex hydrologic history dominate this 1964 survey, showing the dramatic shifts of the Mississippi River through the centuries. Notable markers like the Yazoo Cut-Off (1799) and Centennial Cut-Off (1876) illustrate how the river's path changed, creating landforms like Kings Point and Centennial Lake. This mid-century view captures the industrial and research character of the area, from the Port of Vicksburg and the U S Waterways Experiment Station to the extensive Vicksburg National Military Park that rings the city.
