Steele’s Bayou Civil War Campaign

Steele’s Bayou Campaign Maps 

The route used by the Union fleet during the Steele’s Bayou Campaign is shown on the 1863 map. As a result of the meandering of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, this route no longer exists. To see the dramatic changes to the landscape since the Civil War, slide the modern map and satellite photo of the region over the campaign map.
