1977 Map of Philpott Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Philpott Lake dominates this orthophotomap, showing the reservoir and the surrounding wooded terrain of Franklin County as they appeared in the late 1970s. The imagery, captured by the Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service, reveals the intricate shoreline where the Smith River and numerous tributaries like Rennet Bag Creek and Bowens Creek feed into the basin. Unlike traditional line maps, this photographic view provides a direct look at the vegetation patterns and the sparse road network winding through the hills near Prilliman and Philpott. To the west, the smaller Fairy Stone Lake is visible, while the community of Bassett sits at the southern edge. This orthophoto format is particularly useful for researchers studying land use and forest cover before decades of subsequent development and shoreline changes.
