2017 Map of Irmo

About this map

Irmo and the surrounding residential communities of Seven Oaks and Whitehall define the suburban landscape between the Saluda River and Broad River northwest of Columbia. The map documents the extensive development around the eastern edge of Lake Murray, including the prominent Rocky Point and various bays like Lake Murray of Richland. This area, split by the Richland and Lexington county line, shows a complex network of creeks such as Rawls Cr, Kinley Cr, and Twelvemile Cr that drain the undulating terrain into the larger river systems. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved amidst the modern street grids, including Bauknight Cem, Salem Cem, and both the Upper Pine Grove Cem and Lower Pine Grove Cem. The presence of established neighborhoods like Challedon and Woodland Hills illustrates the post-war growth of the region, while landmarks like Corley Millpond and Corley Island point to the area's older hydraulic and geographic history.
