About this map

Columbia expands southeastward in this survey, where urban infrastructure meets the dense wetland systems of the South Carolina coastal plain. The landscape is defined by a transition from the residential grids of Valencia Heights and Arthurtown to the expansive bottomlands surrounding Gills Creek. Transport and aviation hubs are prominent, specifically the Jim Hamilton L B Owens Airport, which serves as a landmark near the city's edge.

South of Garners Ferry Road, the terrain becomes increasingly aqueous. A network of named water bodies including Adams Pond, Big Goose Pond, and Roland Lake dot the lowlands of Poplar Bottom. These features, along with local landmarks like Green Lawn Memorial Park and the small Childs Cemetery, provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Richland County near the communities of Sims and Hopkins.
