2017 Map of Lake Wylie

About this map

Lake Wylie and the Catawba River define this interstate landscape, where the waters of the reservoir bridge the boundary between York County, South Carolina, and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The map documents a heavily developed residential and recreational shoreline characterized by intricate coves like Allison Creek and Crowders Creek. Substantial settlements including Rock Hill, Tega Cay, and Newport anchor the southern half of the sheet, while northern points such as Commodore Point and Island Point navigate the widening lake. The preservation of local history is evident in the cluster of rural institutions that remain among modern growth, specifically the church and cemetery sites at Pleasant Hill Church Cem, Ozion Church Cem, and Zoar Church Cem. Inland, the terrain rises toward Nanny Mtn and Barnett Mtn, providing relief from the winding lakefront suburbs and established transport corridors.
