About this map

Fairview Crossroads anchors the southwestern corner of this Lexington County landscape, situated at the intersection of several local thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the Black Creek and Smith Branch drainage systems which feed into numerous impoundments such as Clarks Millpond and Areharts Pond. These water bodies often bear family names, suggesting a long history of local land ownership and small-scale water management.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the area, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Boiling Springs Cemetery. The presence of the Eagles Nest-Fairview Airpark and the Congaree Area Girl Scout Camp reflects a mix of modern recreation and traditional rural land use. Transportation is largely defined by roads like Old Charleston Rd and Platt Springs Rd, which follow the contours of the sandhills and creek valleys.
