2014 Map of Barr Lake

About this map

Lexington and its surrounding suburban and rural landscape serve as the focal point for this area southwest of the state capital. The map records a complex hydrological network defined by the upper reaches of the Congaree Cr and Red Bank Cr basins, where numerous small impoundments such as Barr Lake and Saxe-Gotha Millpond suggest a history of local water management and recreation. The transition from the more densely settled corridors near Us-1 and Us-378 into the outlying crossroads reflects the late-century growth patterns of the South Carolina Midlands.
