About this map

The northern edge of Lexington and the expansive waters of Lake Murray dominate this 2014 survey, illustrating the residential growth along the lake’s intricate shoreline. The landscape is defined by its many peninsulas and islands, including the prominent Counts Island, Shull Island, and Bundrick Island. These landforms, along with smaller features like Susie Ebert Island, create a complex network of coves and inlets that have fostered numerous lakeside communities.

Settlements such as Hallmark Shores, Lands End, and Harbor Side are joined by older landmarks like the Saint Thomas Cem near Ballentine. The mapping of local drainage, including Beaverdam Creek and Eightmile Cr, shows how the natural hydrology of the region was transformed by the lake. This edition captures the modern road network, from Old Lexington Hwy to local access routes like Amick's Ferry Rd, providing a clear picture of the area's development as a primary residential and recreational hub for South Carolina.
