About this map

Southern railroad tracks bisect this Lexington County landscape, connecting the small communities of Edmund, Macedon, and Pelion. The area is characterized by an intricate network of small ponds and creek branches, including Crystal Springs Lake, Spires Pond, and Moragne Pond. These water features feed into larger systems like Bull Swamp and Boggy Creek in the southeast.

Rural life in the early 1970s is evidenced by numerous local congregations, such as Mt Hebron Ch, Bethel Ch, and Antioch Ch. Industrial and recreational interests are present through a Claypit near Feigles Pond, the Hidden Valley Country Club, and specialized sites like the Drag Strip and Landing Strip. This survey provides a clear look at the transition between agricultural land and early suburban development in the South Carolina Midlands.
