Van Dorn's Route

Has anyone ever mapped the route taken by Van Dorn during his move from Pea Ridge to Memphis? I seem to recall seeing some reference to an order requiring an assembly around Des Arc preparatory to moving out of the state. I've always been curious as to the state of the roads, rail and steamboat in the state at the time and the logistics of getting that many men and that much materiel across the river in the months before Memphis fell.
