Disharoon's Plantation occupied a high natural levee, fronted by a long stretch of steep bank that served as an excellent steamboat landing on the west bank of the Mississippi River approximately 6.5 mi (10.5 km) southwest of Grand Gulf, Mississippi. Union Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand's XII Corps of the Army of the Tennessee occupied the plantation on April 29, 1863, after marching across the base of Coffee Point from Hard Times Plantation.^{[clarification needed]} Grant arrived at the plantation near dark on that evening, and made plans to land his forces on the Mississippi shore at Rodney, Mississippi, another 12 mi (19 km) downstream. Late that night an escaped slave informed him that there was an excellent steamboat landing, plus good roads into the interior, at Bruinsburg Landing, only 5 mi (8.0 km) downstream. Grant decided to land in Mississippi at Bruinsburg.

Disharoon's Plantation was destroyed by Mississippi River flood waters shortly after the Civil War.
