About this map

Camp Jackson Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1930s survey, marking a period of significant federal activity in Richland County. The map details a transition from the developing outskirts of Columbia to the rural north, where agricultural and institutional footprints are prominent. Major infrastructure like the Jefferson Davis Highway and the Seaboard Air Line railroad corridors facilitate movement through a terrain defined by numerous mill ponds and creek systems.

Community life is anchored by a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Sand Hill Sch and Harmony Ch. The inclusion of the State Sanitarium and the Sand Hill Experimental Station provides a look at the specialized land use of the era, while named landmarks like Bookman's Mill and Quinine Hill offer specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracking family land and early industry.
