The table separates map content from background facts. Lexington and Cayce are the two place names used on the image; population, land area, and the 1804 founding year are supporting context for readers comparing several South Carolina counties.
County Seat, Founding, and Scale
SCAC lists a population of 293,991 and 699 square miles of land for Lexington County. Within South Carolina’s 46 counties, those figures place it 6th in population and 17th in land area. The county was founded in 1804, while Lexington is the present county seat. Those facts add useful scale and administrative context without changing the primary purpose of the page as a downloadable map reference.
What Is Included on the Map
The map is intentionally selective. It labels Lexington and Cayce against the Lexington County boundary, giving readers two recognizable place references without implying that every municipality, road, stream, or local district is shown. Lexington is the county seat, while Cayce serves as a second name for orientation. The labels should be read as reference text rather than survey-grade point locations.
Adjacent Counties and Regional Setting
Lexington County is described broadly within the Piedmont–Coastal Plain transition near the Fall Line setting and lies in the central part of South Carolina. For county-to-county orientation, the most useful verified references are its actual neighbors, including Aiken County, Calhoun County, Newberry County. Comparing those boundaries shows where the county sits within South Carolina more reliably than adding unverified road or river detail to a simple county map.
Using the Boundary Map
- Use the file to distinguish the administrative role of Lexington from the secondary reference name Cayce.
- Compare the Lexington County outline with Aiken County and Calhoun County when explaining neighboring boundaries.
- Place the map in a report or presentation that needs a clean county outline without a full street network.
- Use the JPG for a consistent county-by-county comparison of population rank, land-area rank, and boundary shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the map show the full Piedmont–Coastal Plain transition near the Fall Line geography?
No. The Piedmont–Coastal Plain transition near the Fall Line description is broad regional context for the article. The image itself shows the Lexington County boundary and the reference labels Lexington and Cayce; detailed physical features are outside the scope of this file.
Why are Lexington and Cayce the two labeled places?
Lexington is the county seat, so it provides the clearest administrative reference. Cayce adds a second place name for orientation within Lexington County. The map does not claim to label every municipality or community.
