Description: Map of battlefield core and study areas. The ABPP modified the 1993 Study Area to add the route of the Federal approach from the Missouri River and the route of the Confederate retreat towards the town of Boonville. The 1993 Core Area was shortened slightly to represent the actual location of Camp Bacon. The ABPP also added two new Core Areas. The first represents the location of a Confederate battery along the river that was bombarded by the Union Army transport’s artillery. The second Core Area represents the Confederate camp on the outskirts of town that also received fire from the transport’s artillery.
