Old river crossings and navigation hazards are still noted by name, such as Moseley Ferry and Cherokee Shoals, though many original banks are now submerged. The drainage network feeding the lake includes Beaverdam Creek and Bertram Creek, which wind through a terrain marked by a dense grid of local roads like Pearl Mill Rd and Dixon McCall Rd. In the southeast, the J Strom Thurmond Reservoir begins to take shape, illustrating the significant impact of 20th-century water management on this traditional rural corridor.
