Apr 17, 2008 · For nearly two hundred years now readers have admired this map and assumed Edward Crisp created it from his own survey of the town in 1704, but that’s just not true. The “Crisp Map” is actually a large-format (82 by 99 cm), multi-image map that was published by Edward Crisp in London in 1711. Actually, it was published without a date, but ...

Sep 10, 2009 · When the “Crisp Map” was published in 1711, the South Carolina legislature had not yet legally confirmed the names of any of the streets in Charles Town. In 1722–23, during the short-lived incorporation of what was known as “Charles City and Port,” the provincial legislature contemplated the official naming of the streets as part of a ...
The 1711 Crisp Map shows Vanderhorst’s Creek (M), Granville Bastion (A) and Ashley Bastion (E) connected by a palisade across the narrow tributary, and Colleton Bastion (D) north of Meeting Street.

Its shape is unclear in the “Crisp Map” of 1711, but in Col. John Herbert’s “Ichnography or Plann of the Fortifications of Charlestown,” drawn on 21 October 1721 (now ...
Oct 3, 2023 · Designed to promote colonial settlement, the Crisp Map of 1711, includes an inset of the walled city of "Charles Town," part of a marketing strategy showing it as the secure center of a vital and expanding seacoast colony.
