About this map

The Congaree River corridor dominates this 2011 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its floodplain and the high-water refuges known as cattle mounts. These man-made earthen mounds, including Cooners Cattle Mount, Bradys Cattle Mount, and Big Lake Cattle Mount, reflect a specialized agricultural adaptation for grazing livestock in the low-lying basin. The settlement of Gadsden sits at a higher elevation to the northeast, anchored by the Gadsden Post Office and a network of rural routes such as Old Bluff Rd and S Cedar Creek Rd.

Water management is evident through numerous dammed features like Duffies Pond and Clarkson Pond. To the west, the village of Weston is situated near Weston Lake, while the river's winding path creates distinct landforms such as Old Dead River and Buyck Bottom. This map provides a detailed view of the rural Richland County interface between established upland communities and the dynamic hydrology of the river bottomlands.
