2014 Map of Blythewood

About this map

Blythewood and its surrounding Richland County suburbs are defined by a network of residential developments and historic transportation routes. The Norfolk Southern railroad runs north-south through the landscape, connecting the rural north near Boney and Langfords Crossroads with the more densely settled southern neighborhoods of Killian and North Springs. This transition is marked by numerous water bodies, including Lake Columbia, Elders Pond, and Rymers Pond, which serve as focal points for the community's layout. Local history is preserved in sites like Browns Cem and Woodlawn Cem, as well as the Franklin Memorial Garden. The drainage pattern is led by Twentifive Mile Cr and Crane Cr, shaping the topography between the rolling hills and the expanding residential corridors of Green Springs and North Crossing.
