1986 Map of Newberry

About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this region, where the Enoree River and Tyger River converge amidst a network of rural settlements. Centered on the city of Newberry, the landscape is defined by the significant hydraulic engineering projects that reshaped central South Carolina. The expansive waters of Lake Murray stretch across the south, featuring islands such as Lunch Island and Dreher Island State Park, while the Monticello Reservoir and the Saluda River corridor illustrate the importance of water management to the local economy.
