About this map

The Saluda River and the eastern reaches of Lake Murray define the landscape of this South Carolina study area during a period of significant suburban expansion. The town of Irmo serves as a central hub, surrounded by emerging residential developments such as Challedon, Whitehall, and Woodland Hills. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, including major interchanges on the regional highway system and the prominent Pipeline corridors that traverse the terrain.

Educational and religious institutions are numerous, suggesting a well-established community fabric. Significant landmarks include the Harbison Institute and Irmo High Sch, alongside numerous country churches like Salem Ch and St Michaels Ch. To the northeast, the Harbison State Forest remains a large tract of wooded terrain, while the riverbanks show specialized land use with a Powerplant, a Gaging Sta, and multiple sewage disposal facilities near the Broad River confluence.
