Position of Carolina bay lakes within Carolina bays.  Carolina bay lakes are located in the southeasternmost portions of Carolina bays.  The northern portions of the bays (i.e., the portion not inundated by lake waters) support shrub-bog plants over organic soils.  Here, Salters (top left) and Jones (middle right) Lakes exemplify the typical bay lake position within Carolina bays.  Aerial imagery, transportation, and hydrography layers obtained from NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway: https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov.  Map produced by Nathan Howell using ArcGis Desktop: Version 10.2.2.
