Description: Map of battlefield study and core areas. Revisions to the Study Area include the addition of the Federal approach routes (Sherman’s and McPherson’s Corps) marching from Clinton and Mississippi Springs on the morning of battle. The Confederate retreat route along the Old Canton Road was also added. Because there was little to no fighting within the city itself, the Core Area was reduced to more accurately represent the specific locations of fighting to the northwest and southwest of Jackson.
