Few places in the Civil War map record carry as much detail as this one: it shows the ground around Harrisburg, a small community near Tupelo in northeastern Mississippi, where fighting broke out in July 1864. Union troops under Gen. Andrew J. Smith and Confederate cavalry under Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest clashed there on July 14 and 15, in an engagement often called the Battle of Tupelo. Forrest's attacks failed to break the Union lines, and the battle helped keep Union pressure on the region that summer. Maps like this one, made during the fighting, show how commanders read terrain such as roads, creeks, and open fields.
