About this map

Mc Entire Air National Guard Base dominates the central landscape of this Richland County region, positioned between the extensive Fort Jackson Military Reservation to the north and the rural settlement of Congaree. The 1970s era geography shows a transition from agricultural land to institutional and military use, evidenced by the proximity of Lower Richland High Sch and the Lower Richland Vocational Center to the airfield.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous rural congregations and community focal points, including Beulah Ch, St Johns Ch, and Jerusalem Ch. The transportation network is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads, which served small locales like Pinewood and Bruner. Water features such as Cedar Creek, Toms Creek, and Westons Pond drain the terrain, which is also marked by several family-named landmarks like Morrells Pond and Logues Cem.
