1956 Map of Parris Island

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

US Naval Reservation Marine Recruit Depot dominates the marsh-fringed landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry, its extensive training facilities and barracks clustered on the northern end of Parris Island. South of the main installation, Page Field and a shoreline Golf Course transition into the salt marshes bordering Ballast Creek and the Port Royal Sound. Across the Beaufort River on St Helena Island, military history deepens with the presence of Fort Fremont and the ruins of an Old Fort near the tidal reaches of Station Creek. The mapping captures a network of islands and tidal waterways, including Daws Island, Cat Island, and the northern tip of Hilton Head Island. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Elliot Cem and Adam Street Ch, while the Ribaut Monument stands as a marker of the region's early European exploration.
