About this map

Lake Wylie and its intricate shoreline dominate this modern landscape where the borders of North and South Carolina meet. The survey reveals a high degree of suburbanization extending from Charlotte and Rock Hill, with established communities like Tega Cay, Pine Harbor, and India Hook lining the waterfront. This era is characterized by dense residential road networks and recreational infrastructure, exemplified by the prominent Buster Boyd Bridge connecting York and Mecklenburg counties.

Beyond the developments, the map preserves several local landmarks and historical sites. Geologic features such as Barnett Mtn and Nanny Mtn rise above the surrounding terrain, while cemeteries like Pleasant Hill Church Cem and Ozion Church Cem provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this rapidly growing region. The confluence of the Catawba River and its numerous tributaries, including Allison Cr and Crowders Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology that shaped the borders and residential layout of this Piedmont lake country.
