1972 Map of Pelion East

About this map

Southern railroad tracks anchor this portion of Lexington County in the early 1970s, connecting the small settlements of Edmund, Macedon, and Pelion. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and ponds, including Crystal Springs Lake, Spires Pond, and Bull Swamp Creek, which dictate the placement of rural residences and agricultural land. A strong presence of community identity is visible through the numerous local landmarks like Mt Hebron Ch, Bethel Ch, and New Hope Ch, reflecting a deep-rooted social fabric. The transition toward modern recreational and specialized infrastructure is evident in the development of the Hidden Valley Country Club and a dedicated Drag Strip and Landing Strip, providing a clear record of the area's diversifying land use during this era.
