INFORMATION PACKET (inside back cover) • • • INTRODUCTIO N Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge overlies a portion of the Fall Line region of South Carolin a • which forms the transition zone between the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Piedmont Plateau . I n prehistoric times the coastal plain was covered by an ancient ocean into which rivers from adjacen t mountainous regions drained . Silt and sand deposited along the coastline from these stream s eventually formed into a band of sand dunes which are today known as the Sandhills Region of Nort h and South Carolina. Human habitation of the Sandhills has probably existed for more than 10,000 years . Before the arriva l of European man, the region was sparsely populated by scattered Indian tribes which came to b e known as the Catawba Nation. Little information is available concerning the early history of Europea n man in this area . Not until the 16th century was the area visited by explorers and for the next 15 0 years, the only people to visit the region on a regular basis were trappers and traders in search of fur s and hides . Europeans did not begin to establish permanent settlements in inland South Carolina unti l the mid-1700's . Vast longleaf pine forests dominated the landscape of the Sandhills when European man first settle d in this area . These supported major lumber and naval store industries by the late 1800's. However, by the early 1900's these forests had been completely destroyed and farming became th e predominant lifestyle in this region . Poor agricultural practices and deep infertile soils combined t o • spell the doom of this industry . The lands within the Sandhills region were badly eroded an d essentially a biological desert when acquisition for the refuge began in 1934 . The refuge was established by Executive Order Number 8067 dated March 17, 1939 under authorit y of the 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act and the Emergency Relief Appropriation of 1935 . Th e U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages 45,348 acres as the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlif e Refuge. Elevations on the refuge range from 250 to 500 feet above mean sea level . The topography i s characterized by gently rolling hills and deep sandy soils with occasional outcroppings of red an d kaolin clays . Uniquely, much of the flora and fauna found on the east side of the refuge i s characteristic of those forms generally associated with the Coastal Plain while those on the west sid e are associated with the Piedmont Plateau . The dominant forest type is longleaf pine with a scattere d understory of turkey oak . Where clay outcroppings occur, longleaf is replaced by loblolly pine an d bluejack oak is the most common understory species . • The eastern portion of the refuge drains into Black Creek and its tributaries . Water in these streams is clear but stained black due to the presence of organic acids . Flood plain swamps occur alon g some of the larger streams . The western portion of the refuge drains into Lynches River and its tributaries. The tributaries of Lynches River are similar to those of Black Creek except that they are deeper and swifter. The mainstream of Lynches River originates in the Piedmont Plateau in th e vicinity of the refuge . It is characterized by slightly stained and turbid water with predominantly clay banks. Pocosin ecotones, swamp hardwood forests, and dense stands of evergreen shrubs borde r these streams producing some of the best wildlife habitat found on the refuge . Thirty smal l impoundments having dark, clear water have been constructed on these tributaries ; most of these have been stocked with bass and bream . Habitat diversity has been increased by the creation of many small fields scattered throughout the refuge . • I CAROLINA SANDHILLS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUG E CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA UNITED STATE S UNITED STATE S FISH A14D WILDLIFE SERVIC E DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIO R SO•10' •720 ' • 34. 40 ' • 34'3 5 • 34.30' SO.20' 8095' COMPILED IN THE DIVISION OF REALTY FRO M SURVET9 NY U .S.D.S MEA N DECLINATION 197 4 0 1520 2640 521 0 13660 21120 /[[T Scal e 1,2 I ATLANTA .

Over thirty programs wer e • conducted by refuge staff, including participation in the Pee Dee Sportsmans Classic, Palmett o Sportsmans Classic, and the McBee Fall Festival . Special events were also held to celebrate National Wildlife Refuge Week, Earth Day, and International Migratory Bird Day . Refuge fire and maintenance operations got a boost with the arrival of a new fire transport truck, truc k tractor, dump truck and excavator . Refuge Manager Ingram was selected for the position of Refuge Program Specialist (Assistan t District Manager for District III refuges) and reported for duty there on July 7 . Scott Lanier, Deputy Project Leader at Wheeler NWR, was selected to fill the project leader's position , reporting for duty on October 27th . Refuge Forester Dave Robinson conducted a presentation on "Managing the Longleaf PinerWregras s Ecosystem" on Carolina Sandhills NWR at a seminar sponsored by the S . C. Conservation League , Ducks Unlimited, and the Nature Conservancy at the SeeWee Visitor Center . A total of 14,835 acres were burned this year, with a record 5,376 acres burned during growin g • season. U . S. Forest Service researchers expanded their research efforts, conducting eleven different studie s relating to longleaf pine/wiregrass habitats, roller chopping, and fire ecology . Successful red-cockaded woodpecker nests increased to eighty-six (six percent increase from last year) . Artificial cavities were utilized for twenty nests (a twenty-five percent increase) . Refuge road rehab efforts, funded by Hurricane Fran monies, continued throughout the year. Ten juvenile red-cockaded woodpeckers were trapped for relocation to Daniel Boone National Forest . Unfortunately, one bird died on October 7th . Congressman John M . Spratt and his District Administrator Robert Hopkins were given a two hour tour of the refuge by Office Assistant McCutcheon and Refuge Manager Lanier on December 12th . • B . CLIMATIC CONDITION S Overall weather patterns for the year were fairly normal . Temperatures reached 100 degrees an d above during the month of July . Refuge crops produced fair yields along with good mast crops . There was an excellent longleaf pine seed crop this year .

  • Life in the Pee Dee: Prehistoric and Historic Research on the Roche Carolina Tract, Florence County, South Carolina
    LIFE IN THE PEE DEE: PREHISTORIC AND HISTORIC RESEARCH ON THE ROCHE CAROLINA TRACT, FLORENCE COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA CHICORA FOUNDATION RESEARCH SERIES 39 Front Cover: One of the most interesting artifacts from Chicora's excavations at 38FL240 is this small, stamped brass "circus medallion." The disk shows the profile of an elephant, surrounded by the announcement that the "GREAT EASTERN MENAGERIE MUSEUM AVIARY CIRCUS AND BALLOON SHOW IS COMING." The Great Eastern Circus was only in operation from 1872 through 1874, under the direction of Andrew Haight, who was known as "Slippery Elm" Haight, due to his unsavory business practices. The Circus featured a young elephant named "Bismark" -- probably the very one shown on this medallion. In 1873 the Circus came to Florence, South Carolina, stopping for only two days -- October 18 and 19 -- on its round through the South. It is likely that this brass token was an advertisement for the circus. In this case it was saved, probably by the child of a tenant farmer, and worn as a constant reminder of Bismark, and a truly unusual event for the small, sleepy town of Florence.

  • South Carolina Statewide Rail Plan Update
    SOUTH CAROLINA STATEWIDE RAIL PLAN UPDATE 2020 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 November 19, 2020 Mr. Doug Frate Intermodal and Freight Programs South Carolina Department of Transportation 955 Park Street Columbia, SC 29202 Dear Mr. Frate, The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has completed its review of the 2020 South Carolina State Rail Plan (also referred to as the State Rail Plan or SRP). FRA’s review of the SRP found that it contained the required elements in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 22705 and FRA’s 2013 State Rail Plan Guidance. This letter serves as notice that FRA formally accepts the SRP. While FRA finds that the SRP meets the minimum requirements, FRA recommends addressing the following points in future updates of the SRP: • Consider reorganizing section 3.2.1 Current Southeastern Rail Activity to clarify the history of the rail governance bodies in the Southeast and how they work together. Pages 81-83 presents the relevant information, but the chronology of the governance bodies and their individual roles within the Southeast are unclear. • In section 3.4 on page 87 consider clarifying that SCDOT participated in the Southeast Regional Rail Plan and acted as a lead stakeholder. Also, clarify the purpose of the study as the establishment of a long-term vision for the implementation and management of passenger rail in the Southeast. Consider discussing the role of the SE Plan in the development of SCDOT’s SRP and in the work underway through the Southeast Corridor Commission.

Homes Hogue Michael Trinkley Since the early 1950's the Research Laboratories of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina have conducted intermittent surveys inChes­ terfield and Marlboro Counties, South Carolina to seek information on the villages of the historic Sara or Cheraw Indians, known to have been in South Carolina about 1716 (Lewis 1951,, Wilson 1981). Site SoCV8 was originally recorded in May 1958 during one such brief survey and at that early stage of research the site was felt to represent a mixing of "Siouan elements with [those from the] Pee Dee time period" (Stanley South, notes on file, Research Laboratories of Anthropology). The site is situated in Marlboro County, about 1.5 miles from Cheraw on a sandy ridge parallel the Pee Dee River. Artifact scatter is found over about four acres with two apparent concentrations, both adjacent to the woodsline (Figure 1).
