1971 Map of Irmo NE

About this map

Richland County's interior uplands north of Columbia are defined here by a dense network of streams and rural community landmarks. Significant water bodies such as Big Cedar Creek and Crane Creek carve through the landscape, dictating the placement of early road networks and family-named cemeteries. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several distinct burial sites and places of worship, including Shiloh Cem, Warick Cem, and Messiah Cem. The transition from the rural character of the 1940s to the developments of the early 1970s is evident in the inclusion of modern infrastructure like a Substation and a Golf Course, while the Fairfield County and Richland County boundary line traces the northern portion of the sheet. The prevalence of small church congregations, such as Mt Zion Ch and Beulah Ch, highlights the decentralized nature of these historical communities during this era of South Carolina history.
