English: Map of battlefield core and study areas.

ABPP’s new Study Area boundaries include Federal approach routes and associated locations of skirmishing from the southwest along Jacinto Road and from the northwest along Burnsville Road, as well as the Confederate route of withdrawal and associated locations of skirmishing along Fulton Road to the southeast. The town of Iuka, which was occupied by Confederate forces prior to and during the battle, is included within the Study Area. Several small roads used by Confederate forces to approach/withdraw from the town/battlefield are included, as well as locations north of town where Confederate forces camped and formed in line of battle while they prepared to engage Federal forces.

A small Core Area in the south represents combat around the Moore House. The larger Core Area in the north represents the location of the battle’s most intense fighting.
