Map of the Rebel Position at Vicksburg — Robert Knox Sneden, 1863

Map of the Rebel Position at Vicksburg, Miss., May 1863 is a remarkable Civil War map by Robert Knox Sneden. The broad blue course of the Mississippi River curves around Vicksburg while hand-drawn roads, railways, plantations, waterways, wooded areas, batteries, and defensive positions create a dense record of the surrounding landscape.

Delicate watercolor washes in blue, green, pink, purple, and ochre distinguish waterways, vegetation, military positions, and routes across the warm paper ground. Handwritten labels and closely drawn hachures preserve the character of a working nineteenth-century military map. Both historically significant and visually compelling, the composition offers a detailed view of Vicksburg during one of the defining campaigns of the American Civil War.
