2011 Map of Pelion East

About this map

The town of Pelion and the surrounding Lexington County countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and numerous small impoundments. The headwaters of Bull Swamp Creek and Cedar Creek dominate the drainage pattern, supporting a series of ponds such as Hutto Pond, Craft Pond, and Crystal Springs Lake. Small communities and locales like Macedon, Edmund, and Testo are connected by a web of rural roads, many bearing family names that reflect the area's deep-rooted genealogy. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Antioch Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and the Reichter-Richter Cemetery. Further north, the landscape rises toward Sharpes Hill, while aviation interests are represented by the Corporate Airport, Falcon Airport, and Darden Airport. This era shows the region's balance between residential growth and the traditional hydrological systems of central South Carolina.
