Figure 16. Photographs showing the cane restoration and wetlands at the battlefield. Top image shows an active restoration area. Bottom image shows cane growing in a low-lying boggy area. Boggy areas at the time of battle slowed troop movement and made cannons impossible. The Green River Road followed higher ground through the boggy lands. Cane breaks were a prominent feature in the boggy swales of the Cowpens at the time of the battle. The National Park Service is attempting to restore this native plant and further the battlefield era appearance.
