2014 Map of Lake Wylie

About this map

Lake Wylie dominates the geography of the Carolina borderlands, its intricate shoreline stretching across the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina. The area is defined by the Catawba River and its numerous finger-like inlets, including Long Cove, Allison Creek, and Big Dutchman Creek. This 2014 survey documents the dense residential development along the waterfront, where communities such as Tega Cay, India Hook, and Lake Wylie cluster around the lake's banks. The Buster Boyd Bridge serves as a critical connector for local traffic, bridging the waters where the boundary between York County and Mecklenburg County follows the old river channel.
