Vicksburg, Mississippi, sits on high bluffs above a sharp bend of the Mississippi River, and that position made it the center of one of the Civil War's decisive campaigns. Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant besieged the town from May into July 1863, and its Confederate garrison surrendered on July 4, giving the Union control of the river. Military maps of the period like this one were used to plot approaches, earthworks and river defenses. Worth noticing is how closely such sheets follow the bends and bluffs that shaped the fighting.
