About this map

Lake Murray dominates the northern landscape of this South Carolina region, where the Saluda River valley was transformed by twentieth-century damming. The map captures the complex shoreline at the intersection of Newberry and Saluda counties, highlighting the transition from submerged history to modern recreation. Wyses Ferry remains a key point of interest along the northern bank, while the community of Delmar anchors the southern portion of the sheet near the Lexington County line.

Legacy landmarks are preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Nazareth Cem and Mt Hebron Cem. The terrestrial landscape is defined by its drainages, with Beaverdam Cr, Clouds Cr, and Rocky Cr carving through the terrain toward the reservoir. Notable road crossings like Blacks Bridge on the Prosperity Hwy serve as critical connectors across the fingers of the lake, while smaller water bodies like Halls Pond and Vances Pond sit further inland.
