2014 Map of Ridgeway

About this map

The town of Ridgeway serves as the focal point for this survey of the Piedmont landscape where Fairfield and Richland counties meet. The settlement patterns follow a network of historic transit routes, including N Coleman Hwy and Longtown Rd, which connect the main town to smaller communities like Smallwood and Blythewood. The topography is defined by a dense drainage system that flows through the rolling terrain, featuring prominent water bodies such as Twentyfive Mile Cr, Dutchmans Cr, and Sawneys Cr. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key landmarks including Saint Stephens Cem and Almwell Cem, alongside family-named corridors like Harrison Johnson Rd and Mood Harrison Rd. The road network, ranging from major state routes like SC-34 to the unpaved Jeep Trail Rd, illustrates the blend of modern infrastructure and rural South Carolina tradition.
