|
1822 Dimensions: 58 x 44” includes an inset map of Charleston Harbor. Wilson was the State Civil and Military Engineer, and the creation of an accurate state map reflecting all the new internal improvements was one his responsibilities. Tanner refers to the resulting map as "one of our best and most scientific maps..." It was made using district surveys commissioned by the state, which later became the source of the district maps in Mills' Atlas of South Carolina of 1825. |
