1953 Map of Leesburg

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Fort Jackson Military Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape in Richland County, where the transition from civilian farmland to military training grounds is clearly visible. The survey captures the small settlement of Leesburg and the rural community of McCaskill, both surrounded by a dense network of country churches and schools such as Concord Church, Mount Pilgrim Church, and Pine Grove School. Along the eastern boundary, the Wateree River defines the edge of the county, bordering the South Carolina Penitentiary State Farm Number One. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses, including Spears Creek and the expansive White Swamp, illustrating the well-watered but often challenging geography of the region. Military infrastructure like a rifle range and a tank are mapped alongside older landmarks like Dunns Mount, providing a detailed look at how the expansion of Fort Jackson transformed local geography.
