Description: Map of battlefield core and study areas. The Study Area was revised to include the Federal route of advance from the south. MG Augur had headed north intending to secure a landing on the Mississippi River, but was intercepted by the Confederates at Plains Store. The advance/withdrawal route from Port Hudson of the Confederate reinforcements under Col. Miles was extended to the west. The Core Area was revised to more accurately reflect the primary area of fighting.
