Description
Detail of plot of Vicksburg District, for Leasing Abandoned Plantations, circa 1863. No date appears on the map, but it would seem likely that this map may have been used during 1863 when plantations began to be leased in the area. An "X" by the plantation name indicates that the property had been leased.
