2011 Map of Philpott Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Philpott Lake and its intricate, finger-like shoreline dominate this 2011 survey, reflecting the complex topography where the Smith River is impounded by the Philpott Dam. The map details a landscape transition from the managed waters of Fairy Stone State Park, featuring the Fairy Stone Lake and Fairy Stone Dam, to the industrial and residential outskirts of West Bassett. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Dehart-Jones-Prilliman Cemetery, Ratcliff-Whitlow-Young Cemetery, and Stone-Bondurant-Johnson Cemetery. The distribution of these family plots alongside modern recreational features like Twin Ridge Marina and Horseshoe Point illustrates the dual identity of the region as both an ancestral highland home and a contemporary destination for water-based activities.
