Drawn in 1872, this bird's-eye view shows Columbia, the state capital of South Carolina, from an elevated angle that lets the viewer see streets, rivers, and rooftops at once. The city was still rebuilding after Union troops set much of it on fire in February 1865, so the map captures a town in the middle of recovery during the Reconstruction years. Its creator, C. N. Drie, was a known maker of panoramic city views in the 1870s, and the map is useful for comparing how the layout of the town looked soon after the war.
