1958 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The confluence of the Flatrock River and Driftwood River forms the East Fork White River at Columbus, creating a complex waterway system that defined the city's early development. This late-1950s survey captures the city at a moment of significant institutional growth, as evidenced by the dense cluster of educational and civic landmarks including St Bartholomews Sch, Jr High Sch, and the Court House. To the north, Bakalar Air Force Base marks the era's military footprint, while the Pennsylvania railroad line bisects the landscape, connecting the industrial center to surrounding hamlets like Walesboro and Garden City. The map preserves the locations of numerous neighborhood schools such as McKinley Sch and Garfield Sch, alongside rural landmarks like the Covered Bridge on Clifty Creek.
