Latitude N 34 35.500 x Longitude W 82 51.383 CEMETERY HISTORY: ------------------------ This was a typical Slave labor plantation that was located along the Keowee River. During the forming of Lake Hartwell, the area where the plantation was located got covered by water. Because the cemetery was located on a high knoll, it survived the lake's forming. The non re-internment of these graves is covered by Corps of Engineers lake construction reference location X-24001C1. Corps of Engineers cemetery plot drawing.
