1971 Map of Richtex

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Broad River and Little River converge in this riverine landscape at the border of Fairfield and Richland counties. The settlement of Richtex sits at the junction of the Southern railroad and the river, while smaller communities like Littleton and Bookman are scattered along the rail line and rural roads. The area’s industrial activity is evident in the several extractive sites, including Claypits near the rail line and a Sandpit and Gravel Pit further north. Cultural history is anchored by numerous country churches and family burial grounds, such as Zion Pilgrim Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Gibson Cem. The river itself is defined by topographic features like Freshley Shoals, Haltiwanger Island, and Bookman Shoals, illustrating the natural hazards and geography that dictated early crossing points like Ashley Bridge and Browns Bridge.
