During March 3-5, 1863, Union troops landed at Grand Lake and marched to a site just south of Eudora, where they camped to protect efforts to cut the Mississippi River levee and thus raise the water level in Bayou Macon.

This site has local significance because it is associated with military activities and events that achieved or affected important local objectives of the Vicksburg campaign.

The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism maintains a state park and visitor cent in nearby Lake Village. Interpretation of the actions at Eudora would be appropriate there. The site would be documented. Onsite interpretation and connecting the site to the Vicksburg Heritage Coalition is encouraged.
