1972 Map of Congaree

About this map

Mc Entire Air National Guard Base dominates the central landscape of this Richland County survey, showing the military's significant footprint alongside the Fort Jackson Military Reservation boundary. The area is defined by a rural network of churches and schools that served the local farming and timber communities, including Lower Richland High Sch and the Lower Richland Vocational Center. Settlement patterns follow the topography of high ground between creek branches, with small communities like Horrel Hill, Bruner, and Congaree situated near the transport corridors of the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads.
