About this map

The town of Blythewood and the northern outskirts of the Columbia area are captured here during a period of transition in the early 1970s. The Southern railroad line and U.S. Highway 21 serve as the primary north-south corridor, connecting the rural communities of Langfords Crossroads and Killian. The landscape is dotted with small-scale industries and local landmarks, including several sandpits and the Columbia Country Club situated near Rice Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local congregations and burial grounds, such as Bethel Ch, Round Top Ch, and Woodlawn Cem. Educational facilities like Hanbury Jr High Sch and Sand Level Sch mark the community centers of the era. The geography is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Twentyfive Mile Creek and Boney Creek, which cross the Fairfield and Richland county line.
