1948 Map of Irmo
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Irmo and its surrounding rural communities are captured here just after the second World War, showing a landscape defined by the Columbia Newberry and Laurens railroad and the shoreline of Lake Murray. The presence of the Harbison Institute and the Rosenwold Sch near Golden Gem highlights significant educational landmarks for the era. The terrain is marked by a dense network of country churches and schools, including St Paul Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and Irmo Sch Dist No 45. To the south, the Saluda River flows below the Dreher Shoals Dam, with industrial infrastructure such as the Power House and Spillway 360 visible. The northern reaches include Harbison State Forest and the Ballentine Fire Tower, while the western edge is dominated by the rising waters and inlets of the reservoir near Ballentine Landing.
