Vicksburg Area Large Scale Map

I'm seeking a CW era large scale, small area, map detailing the area between Vicksburg and Warrenton.

Specifically I'm interested in the area 4-5 miles south of Vicksburg, on the Warrenton road in the vicinity of Smede's
Plantation which is just across the river from Bigg's Plantation landing.

My interest is in learning more of the area in which my ggrandfather's regiment, the 43rd Tennessee in Col. A. W. Reynold's brigade, camped during the period Jan. through
April 1863.

The best maps I've found are on Plate 36-1 & -2 of the OR Official Atlas of the Civil War. However, they do not contain the detailed information I seek.

I have Bearss' 3 Vol. Vicksburg work and Grabau's Ninety-Eight Days, but they only contain small scale, large area maps.

I've also a slough of other texts and atlas's including "The West Point Atlas of American Wars," however, no joy for what I seek.
