About this map

Wateree Lake and its massive Wateree Dam dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the Wateree River cuts south through Kershaw County. The geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Grannies Quarter Creek, Sanders Creek, and Sawneys Creek, which carve through the terrain between high points like Buck Hill and Knight Hill. This late-1980s data shows the infrastructure supporting the area's growth, from the Water Filtration Plant and various sub stations to the rural junction at Rabon Crossroads.

South of the dam, the river floodplain contains interesting hydrological features like Mickle Lake, while the eastern edge of the map begins to touch the outskirts of Camden. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several scattered Cem locations and smaller settlements such as Eagles Nest, providing a clear record of the residential and industrial footprint before late-20th-century development further altered the lakefront and river valley.
