2017 Map of Blythewood

About this map

Blythewood and the surrounding Richland County landscape are defined by a complex network of small waterways and residential expansion. The area south of the Fairfield Co line shows a transition from the rural crossroads of Boney and Langfords Crossroads toward more developed corridors. Water management is a central feature of this terrain, evidenced by numerous man-made and natural catchments such as Lake Columbia, North Spring Lake, and Hospitals Lake. Local history is anchored by sites like the Franklin Memorial Garden and Browns Cem, while the drainage of Twentyfive Mile Cr and Rice Cr shapes the physical layout of the communities at Sharp and Killian. The map documents the persistent identity of these small settlements even as they are increasingly integrated by the modern highway system and suburban infill.
