2011 Map of Chapin

About this map

The Broad River curves along the northern edge of this landscape, separating the railroad settlement at Alston and the high ground of Peak from the interior woodlands. To the south, the waters of Lake Murray define the shoreline, where residential developments like Dutchman Shores and Hilton meet the inlets of Stinking Creek. The area is characterized by an exceptionally high density of family and community burial grounds, including the David Bounts Cemetery, Thomas Boyd Cemetery, and Henry Eargle Cemetery, which serve as vital markers of the region's genealogical history. The town of Chapin serves as a central hub, while the White Rock Post Office and Chapin Park Dam D-1706 reflect the local infrastructure. The drainage patterns of Wateree Creek and Risters Creek illustrate the natural topography that influenced the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like the Capers Chapel Cemetery.
