About this map

The complex shoreline of Lake Murray dominates this South Carolina landscape, where the waters of the Saluda River basin reach into numerous inlets and coves. The northern portion of the map is a mosaic of peninsulas and named landforms, including Susie Ebert Island, Counts Island, and the Jim Spence Islands. These geographical features reveal the modern residential and recreational character of the area, as seen in the dense network of local roads such as Old Lexington Hwy and Amicks Ferry Rd that wind toward the water's edge.

To the south, the settlement of Lexington and the community of Providence show the inland development patterns of the county. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Saint Thomas Cem, while the drainage system of Twelvemile Cr and Eighteenmile Cr defines the southern terrain. This map documents a transitional zone where established town centers meet the sprawling, water-focused expansion of the midlands.
