1972 Map of Columbia North

About this map

The Congaree River serves as the focal point where the Broad River and Saluda River converge, defining the urban expansion of Columbia and West Columbia during the early 1970s. This survey, updated with 1988 aerial revisions, shows the city's significant institutional footprint, ranging from the State Capitol and Governors Mansion to academic centers like Allen University, Benedict College, and the Lutheran Seminary. The map captures the transition from the dense street grids of Eau Claire and Belmont to the developing suburbs around Denny Terrace.
