About this map

The confluence of the Saluda River and the Broad River marks a primary geographic feature of this mid-century landscape, where the waters join to form the Congaree River. This document details a period of institutional concentration and northward expansion for Columbia, showing a dense network of educational and state facilities such as Benedict College, Allen Univ, and the State Hospital. The city's residential growth is visible in neighborhoods like Eau Claire, Arden, and Waverly, which were well-established as the urban core pushed into the surrounding woodlands of Harbison State Forest.
