1959 Map of Fort Fremont

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

St Helena Island and the surrounding Sea Islands define this coastal landscape, showing the complex network of tidal creeks and marshes before significant modern development. The presence of Ft Fremont at the southern tip of St Helena Island and the Marine Barracks on Parris Island highlights the strategic military importance of the Port Royal Sound area during this era. Navigation and early land transport are evident through the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad, terminating at Beaufort Sta and Port Royal. Numerous artesian wells, labeled as Art Well, are scattered across the islands, reflecting the historical reliance on local groundwater for the settlements at Beaufort, Frogmore, and Wilkins. The map also identifies the historic site of Old Fort and a Quarantine station, offering a window into the region's maritime health and defense history.
