Where We Drill: the Six-County Midlands

Columbia, SC HDD service area — 6 component counties, principal and satellite cities — The the Midlands service area — U.S. Census Bureau county boundaries; cities marked are where crews most often mobilize.

The service area is the OMB-defined Columbia metro — Richland, Lexington, Kershaw, Fairfield, Saluda, and Calhoun counties, from the granite north through the capital and the Sandhills to the park's floodplain south. County pages below carry the local picture: the corridors, the bands, and the authorities whose permits govern crossings.

Richland County

The capital county: downtown, the university, the post, and the park's bottoms.

Lexington County

The boom west: Murray's shore, the corridor towns, and growth in every direction.

Kershaw County

The horse-country east: Camden's heritage, the corridor's logistics, and Sandhills miles.

Fairfield County

The granite north: Winnsboro's stone, the energy country, and hard-rock honesty.
