1971 Map of Lake Murray East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Murray dominates the landscape of this 1970s survey, its waters reaching deep into the rolling Piedmont terrain of Lexington and Richland counties. The reservoir shoreline is defined by numerous inlets and the prominent silhouettes of Counts Island, Shull Island, and Bundrick Island. On the southern shores, rural life is anchored by a network of local congregations including St Johns Ch and St Peters Ch, while the settlement of Providence sits near the headwaters of Eighteenmile Creek. The map documents a rural transition as former farmland and creek valleys like Twentymile Creek and Beaverdam Creek meet the expanding recreational and residential influence of the lake. Local historians can trace the placement of numerous small family or community cemeteries scattered throughout the wooded hills, preserving a record of the area's older agricultural footprint before the modern development of the lakefront.
