1948 Map of Columbia North

About this map

The Congaree River forms at the confluence of the Broad River and Saluda River, anchoring a landscape of significant institutional development in the late 1940s. The state capital's footprint is defined by a high concentration of public works and social infrastructure, including the State Capitol, the State Penitentiary, and the S C Womens Penitentiary. Beyond the government core, the map reveals a network of residential and educational growth in neighborhoods like Eau Claire, Arden, and Waverly. The inclusion of the Soldiers Home, Epworth Orphanage, and Waverly Sanitarium reflects the era's specialized social services. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Harbison State Forest and the rolling hills of the Crane Creek watershed, where smaller rural settlements like Brice Hill and Munster remain distinct from the expanding city center.
