Summary
| Description |
English: Map of battlefield core and study areas.
The ABPP expanded the 1993 Study Area to include Charleston Harbor’s main shipping channel (used by attacking US Naval forces entering the harbor from the Atlantic Ocean), and the Confederate fortifications on Sullivan’s Island. Revisions also include the location of Confederate batteries on the southern edge of James Island, and the line of Confederate obstructions spanning Charleston Harbor. The revised Core Area includes fortifications on James Island (Cheves Battery, Simkins Battery, and Fort Johnson) and Sullivan’s Island (Battery Bee, Fort Moultrie, and Fort Beauregard). Core Area boundaries also reflect fields of fire associated with the Marsh Battery, operations undertaken during the US Navy’s siege of the City of Charleston, and the US Army's bombardment of Fort Sumter, Fort Wagner, and Battery Gregg from the harbor. |
