2020 Map of Gaston

About this map

Gaston and Swansea anchor this landscape along the border of Lexington and Calhoun Counties, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of small water bodies and seasonal creeks. The presence of Moores Millpond and State Record Pond reflects a legacy of water management and local industry, while the Gaston Airport serves as a modern landmark. North of the town center, Sand Mtn rises above the drainage basins of Savany Hunt Cr and N Fork Sandy Run. The area's settlement pattern follows historical routes like Old Wire Rd and Old State Rd, revealing a transition from agricultural roots to modern rural-residential growth. Numerous private landings and small impoundments such as Lackland Pond and Sulton Pond dot the southern reaches, highlighting the region's reliance on these managed waterways for drainage and recreation.
