About this map

The waters of Lake Marion dominate this landscape, where the reservoir has transformed the local geography into a complex of islands and inlets. Along the eastern shore, the settlement of Eadytown serves as a focal point near the massive Santee River infrastructure. The map documents an intricate network of waterways, including the Santee Canal, Diversion Canal, and the Bulltown Ditch, reflecting the region's long history of water management and hydroelectric development.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural congregations and burial grounds preserved in the record, such as Hickory Hill Ch, Greenland Ch, and Unity Ch, along with the Bluefield Cem. Numerous landmasses once part of the continuous Santee plain appear here as islands, including Church Island, which contains the Rocks Cem, and the appropriately named Chimney Island, Sixteen Island, and Pintail Island.
