1972 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point for this 1970s landscape, which illustrates the transition from rural agricultural land to suburban expansion. The town is flanked by a network of water bodies, including Gibsons Pond and Twelvemile Creek, while the Southern railroad line cuts across the terrain, marking the corridor for regional transit and industry. To the south, Red Bank and South Congaree appear as smaller centers of community life, surrounded by a high density of country churches such as St James Ch and Nazareth Ch.
