About this map

Lake Marion dominates this central South Carolina landscape, where the confluence of the Wateree River and the Santee River creates a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. The map illustrates a region defined by its relationship with these watercourses, showing how early 21st-century infrastructure manages the environment through structures like the Mill Creek Pond Park Dam and Gadden Pond Dam.

Small settlements such as Lone Star and Fulton Crossroads sit back from the shore, while the water's edge is punctuated by functional points of access like Weeks Landing, Low Falls Landing, and Elliots Landing. Notable local landmarks include the Mac Boykin YMCA Camp on the northern edge, nestled near Tavern Creek. The intricate hydrography of Squirrel Creek, Warley Creek, and the many islands within the lake reflect a shifting riparian environment vital to the local fishing and recreation economy.
