About this map

Mc Entire Joint National Guard Base dominates the central landscape of this South Carolina quadrangle, illustrating the significant military footprint east of the state capital. The area is defined by a series of small settlements and family-named landmarks that trace the rural development of Richland County. Pockets of habitation like Hopkins, Horrel Hill, and Gadsden are connected by a network of historic routes including Old Leesburg Rd and Garners Ferry Rd.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by numerous small drainages and established ponds, such as Westons Pond, Jordans Pond, and Morrells Pond, which supported the local agricultural economy. Features like Logues Cem and Gwinn Field provide specific points of interest for genealogical and local history research, showing the distribution of family lands and community spaces near the outskirts of Columbia during the mid-2010s.
