About this map

Columbia Owens Downtown Airport anchors the western edge of this suburban landscape, which transitions from dense residential developments to more rural, water-rich terrain. The area is defined by a complex network of residential enclaves such as Heathwood, Millwood, and Rosewood, alongside later twentieth-century subdivisions like Brandon Acres and Pennington Acres. This map illustrates the substantial hydrography that shapes the region, featuring a string of reservoirs and ponds including Lake Katherine, Lower Legion Lake, and Sun View Lake.

To the south and east, the built environment gives way to the wetlands of Poplar Bottom and the lower reaches of Mill Creek. This section reveals a quieter rural character, where larger parcels of land are punctuated by local landmarks like the Childs Cemetery and the settlement of Hopkins. The map traces the natural drainage systems of Gills Creek and Myers Creek, providing a detailed look at the local geography before these corridors meet the larger floodplains at the edge of the survey area.
