1972 Map of Fort Jackson South

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The sprawling grounds of the Fort Jackson Military Reservation dominate the northeast, where the landscape transitions from military training grounds to the growing suburbs of Columbia. This 1972 survey, updated with 1982 photorevisions, captures a period of significant institutional expansion, including the VA Hospital and the Midland Technical Education Center. Further south, the map reveals the rural character of Richland County along the Southern Railway and Seaboard Coast Line tracks. Settlement patterns follow these rail corridors through communities like Lykes and Hopkins, while a dense network of country churches such as Zion Chapel No 2 Ch and Pine Bluff Ch anchors the outlying areas. Water is central to the landscape, from the large ponds like Adams Pond and Pinewood Lake to the meandering course of Gills Creek and Mill Creek, which define the low-lying southern terrain.
