Secessionville Battlefield South Carolina

Map of battlefield core and study areas. The ABPP significantly revised the 1993 Study Area and included the routes taken by Confederate reinforcements marching from Charleston and Fort Johnson to help repulse the Federal assault on Tower Battery/Fort Lamar. The width of existing Federal approaches was reduced to highlight the roads used by US troops moving through the otherwise impassible, swampy terrain of James Island. Also included is the approach route of US naval forces travelling up Folly River Creek. The expanded Core Area includes the US naval bombardment from Folly River Creek and the Confederate counter attack north of Fort Lamar.
