As Jerry Alexander noted in an article entitled “Historic Keowee Plantation” from an unidentified and undated newspaper found in the Mary Stevenson Collection at Clemson Univesity Library’s Special Collection and Archives (“Keowee, Home of John Ewing Colhoun and Graveyard,” box 15, folder 42, mss 353), the confluence of the Keowee and Twelve Mile Rivers, the site of John E. Colhoun’s Keowee Heights planatation, is difficult to locate today because those streams no longer exist at this point after they were formed into Lake Hartwell.
