How to Use This Arthur, South Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arthur, South 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 South 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 Arthur.

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.

About Arthur, South Carolina

Arthur emerges from the flat, pine-studded plains of the South Carolina interior as a quiet intersection of red clay and long-leaf timber. The horizon remains stubbornly level, broken only by the thin, dark silhouette of Mullers Barn Ridge hanging in the far distance like a smudge of charcoal against the afternoon haze. A mile to the west, the slow, tea-colored currents of Savana Branch carve a serpentine path through the brush, feeding the basin where Fisher Pond sits stagnant and silver under the summer heat. The air here holds a heavy, pressurized quality, thick with the scent of damp earth and the sharp, resinous tang of pine needles baking in the sun.

Arthur carries the weight of a slow-turning economy, where the rhythm of the work week is dictated by the sprawl of timber harvesting and the modest maintenance of local infrastructure. Residents find their social anchor at Oak Grove Sports Complex, where the manicured ballfields provide a stark, green contrast to the surrounding scrub and fallow fields. The collective memory of the area is tied to the labor of the land, a history etched into the weathered siding of barns and the persistent weeds reclaiming abandoned crossroads. Life moves with a deliberate, unblinking pace, marked by the shifting quality of light as it filters through the canopy, turning the dust of the backroads into fine, golden powder before the evening cools the ground.

About This Arthur Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arthur, South Carolina. Coordinates: 33.971818, -81.137596. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Arthur includes the ZIP code (29170), telephone area code (803), county seat of Lexington County (Lexington), and school district assignment.

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.
