1948 Map of Hopkins
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Congaree River creates a complex network of backwaters and oxbow lakes south of Hopkins, including Mullers Big Lake, Saylors Lake, and Goose Pond. This 1948 survey shows the Richland County landscape at a moment of transition, balancing rural schoolhouses and churches with significant federal installations. Extensive federal tracts are established at the U S Military Reservation (Fort Jackson) and the U S Military Reservation (Congaree Air Base). The rural infrastructure is dense with local centers like Lykosland, Weston, and Gadsden, served by the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railroads. Notable landmarks such as Green Hill Mound and the Veterans Hospital near Columbia anchor the map's northern edge, while the swampy terrain of the Devils Orchard defines the river bottoms to the south.
