Explore Scotch Meadows, North Carolina, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Scotch Meadows, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Scotch Meadows.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Scotch Meadows stretches across the flat, fertile plains of the interior, where the dark, sluggish waters of Gum Swamp Creek carve a path through the dense, loamy soil. It lies 6.7 miles south-southwest of Laurinburg, NC (from Laurinburg, NC: bearing 208°T), and is situated 2.1 miles northeast of McColl. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of Ballast Ridge that marks the far western boundary of the landscape. During the height of the summer, the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine, and the light at dusk turns a bruised, honey-gold that catches on the tall grasses. Only three miles away, the quiet surface of McLaurins Millpond reflects the sky, acting as a stillness that mirrors the deliberate, measured pace of the local life.
Scotch Meadows carries a heritage built upon the steady labor of the soil, where the economy has long been tethered to the cycles of agricultural production. Traces of the past remain in the cleared fields and the quiet endurance of the land, which now serves as a backdrop for the modest, everyday activities found at the nearby C W Love Sports Complex and Park. While the demands of modern commerce pull at the edges of the region, the character of Scotch Meadows stays rooted in a tradition of self-reliance and community connection. Residents here look toward the seven-mile-distant depression of Newton Bay as a landmark of the local geography, navigating their days with a pragmatic grace that honors the quiet, inland solitude of their home.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
