About this map

Lake Murray dominates the western landscape of this Richland County survey, its jagged shoreline giving rise to numerous residential developments such as Yacht Cove, Selwood Shores, and Ballentine Landing. The massive Saluda Dam stands as the primary engineering feature controlling the waters of the Saluda River, which flows eastward toward its confluence with the Broad River near the map's edge. The town of Irmo serves as a central hub, situated along the corridor of I-26, reflecting the suburban expansion of the Columbia area in the early 21st century.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including the Bauknight Cemetery and Golden Cemetery. The transition from established neighborhoods like Whitehall and Seven Oaks to newer developments such as Harbison New Town is clearly documented through the dense network of surface streets and the naming of local subdivisions and water control structures like the Lake Quail Valley Dam.
