About this map

Blythewood sits along the northeastern edge of this Richland County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the Broad River basin. This 2017 survey details a transition from suburban expansion to the more rural, stream-carved terrain of the Fairfield Co and Richland Co border. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, identifying numerous small family and community burial grounds including Shiloh Cem, Wirick Cem, Beulah Cem, and Piney Grove Cem.

Waterways like Big Cedar Creek, Persimmon Fork, and Nipper Cr define the drainage patterns of the area, creating a complex network of ridges and valleys. Long-standing local transit corridors like Winnsboro RD and Monticello RD anchor the settlement patterns, connecting scattered homesites and agricultural tracts. Notable water features such as Mullers Lake, Keels Lake, and Smith Pond dot the landscape, reflecting the local reliance on these drainages for recreation and small-scale impoundments throughout the century.
