2011 Map of Pelham

About this map

The Enoree River winds through this Piedmont landscape, defining the geographic character of settlements like Pelham and Batesville. Near Pelham Falls, the river’s path is marked by historical crossing points such as Bennetts Bridge and Anderson Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by small-scale aviation at Flight World Airport and Hughes Airport. The map documents a transition toward residential development, visible in communities like Woodland Village, Bellingham, and Ponderosa, yet it preserves a record of older rural life through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Mayfield Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Vaughan Cemetery. Water management is a prominent feature, with several named dams and basins such as Harper's Folly Lake and G Brockman Pond illustrating the local engineering of tributaries like Peters Creek and Dillard Creek.
