2017 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and its surrounding communities are mapped here during a period of significant suburban expansion west of the state capital. The landscape is defined by its complex network of water bodies, from the Lexington Mill Pond on Twelvemile Cr to the southern reaches of Congaree Creek. This geography supported early local industry, evidenced by the Saxe-Gotha Millpond and the specialized Pennsylvania Glass Sand-Settling Pond near the southern boundary. Residential growth is visible in the transition between established settlements like Red Bank and the sprawling developments around the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of numerous burial sites, including the George Gross Cem, Emmanuel Cem, and Bethany Cem, alongside the large Southland Memorial Gardens.
