Summary

Description
English: Map of battlefield core and study areas.

The ABPP ecxtended the Study Area to include the roads over which Federal forces moved prior to the Confederate ambush: the Cotton Plant Road from James Ferry to the Bayou De View Bridge (southeast of the town of Cotton Plant) and the Old DesArc Road. The Study Area was reduced around the Hill Plantation and the Cotton Plant and Old DesArc intersection.

The Core Area along the Old DesArc Road was reduced in size to more accurately reflect the area of fighting. The ABPP added a second small Core Area to represent the important skirmish at Bayou De View Bridge that saved the bridge from being burned and allowed Federal forces to press on the following day.
