2024 Map of Vicksburg West

About this map

The Vicksburg National Military Park dominates the landscape of this river-bend region, preserved as a sprawling site of civil history alongside the Vicksburg city center. The map details a complex hydrologic environment where the Mississippi River has shifted over time, leaving behind features like Centennial Lake, Yazoo Cutoff, and the Centennial Cutoff. Historical engineering efforts are visible in the form of Grants Canal and the Louisiana and Mississippi railroad line, which crosses the river near Delta Point. In the city proper, local landmarks such as the Warren County Courthouse and the Alcorn State University Vicksburg Expansion Campus sit among a dense grid of streets including Washington St and Confederate Ave. To the west, the rural bottomlands are home to the Hannah Plantation Airport and the settlement of Delta, Mississippi, while Kings Point remains isolated by the river's changing course.
