1937 Map of Killian

About this map

Fort Jackson Military Reservation and the sprawling grounds of Camp Jackson dominate the southern landscape of this 1930s survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in Richland County. The area is defined by a network of rural settlements and institutional landmarks, including the State Sanitarium and the Sand Hill Experimental Station. Small communities like Blythewood, Killian, and Blaney are connected by the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line, which cut through a terrain of numerous creeks and family-named landmarks. The map documents a deeply established social fabric evidenced by dozens of rural congregations and schools such as Shady Grove Ch, Four O'Clock Ch, and the Jacob Mission Sch. Notable industrial and recreational sites like Lookmans Mill, the C C C Camp, and the Boy Scout Camp reflect the diverse land use in this period of South Carolina history.
