2014 Map of Lake Sinclair East

About this map

Lake Sinclair dominates the landscape at the boundary of Hancock and Baldwin counties, where complex shorelines meet the historic Oconee River. This contemporary survey shows the extensive residential development and road networks that have grown around the impoundment, including Lake Island Dr and River Ridge Tr. Despite modern utility, the map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family burial grounds that predate the reservoir. Key sites include the Island Creek Baptist Church Cem and several private plots like the James Butts Family Cem and Simmons Family Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions toward Sandtown, where the river geography includes Furman Shoals and Carter Island, while the Baldwin County Airport serves as a modern landmark near the water's edge.
