Columbia Maps and Orientation

(Columbia, South Carolina - SC, USA)



Standing in the very heart of South Carolina, the city of Columbia functions as both the state's capital and biggest city. It is also the seat of Richland County, while part of the city is to be found within Lexington County.

Columbia serves as the primary gateway into South Carolina's Midlands region and is located at the spot where the Broad River meets with the Saluda River, before becoming the Congaree River.

The city has grown up around the Congaree River and a distinctive fall line, which separates an upland region and lower plain, and sees the river cascading down between these two levels. It was this forceful flow of water that once powered the mills of Columbia, bringing much wealth to the city,
