About this map

The Broad River carves a significant path through this landscape north of Columbia, defining the boundary between Fairfield and Richland counties. The river corridor is marked by several large landforms, including Haltiwanger Island, Huffman Island, and Bookman Island, alongside the rocky waters of Freshley Shoals and Bookman Shoals. These features illustrate the natural hydrology of the region before further modern development, providing a view of the river's character near the Piedmont fall line.

Small settlements and rural crossroads like Richtex, Littleton, and Bookman are distributed across the terrain, connected by historical thoroughfares such as Hinnants Store Rd and Monticello Rd. For those researching local families, the map identifies several small burial grounds, including Robinson Cem, Van Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The map captures the suburban expansion from Irmo and Ballentine as they extend toward the quieter, creek-carved lands of the north.
