How did the Mississippi River make General US Grant's lines of operation obvious to the Confederates at the end of 1862?

Along the secure water route of the Mississippi River in late 1862 the necessity of of maintaining this line of communications made Major General US Grant's line of operation so clear that the Rebels could force him to approach them head on. This resulted in the failed Union assault at Chickasaw Bluffs. Additionally, Confederate General Van Dorn's cavalry raid at Holly Springs prevented a Union flanking maneuver against Vicksburg. This then forced General Grant to maximize his efforts against the Confederates along a water route.
