About this map

Fort Jackson Military Reservation dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating a heavily utilized tactical training environment in South Carolina. The map reveals an intricate network of specialized roads such as Artillery Road, Rifle Road, and Infantry Road, which snake through the varied terrain of Noahs Marsh and Wise Marsh. Scattered across the reservation are numerous Observation posts and a specific Recoiless rifle range, documenting the intensive military use of the Richland and Kershaw county line during the Cold War era.
