I always thought Vicksburg sat up above the river on the bluffs - hence the reason that Grant/Sherman couldn't take it from the west side and why it was so hard for Union boats to move past it prior to the siege during the Civil War.
Are the bluffs really not that high, or did the levees, etc. bring the city closer to river level?
Most of the city is on a high bluff, what is flooding is casino areas and the industrual areas on Levee Street.
