Summary

Certain lands shown as “Proposed Deletions” on the Vicksburg National Military Park map (No. 306–80,007, dated May 1990) are taken out of the park, and control of those lands is returned to the State of Mississippi. The map is kept at the National Park Service office for the public to see.
