About this map

Ft Jackson National Cem sits at the western edge of this landscape, marking a significant site of remembrance within the extensive military installation grounds. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries and impoundments, where Colonels Cr and its branches such as Buffalo Cr and Jumping Run Cr feed into numerous named bodies of water including Messers Pond, Westons Pond, and Wise Pond. This intricate hydrology suggests a history of land management and water control in the transition between Richland and Kershaw counties.

Residential expansion is evident near Chimney Ridge and the northern corridors, while much of the southern and eastern portions remain dominated by training grounds and woodlots. Researchers will find several smaller burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Salem Cem, Mt Pleasant Cem, and the Bardell Graveyard, which offer valuable points of reference for local genealogy and land-use history away from the primary thoroughfares.
