How to Use This Buford, South Carolina Map

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

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.

Buford unfolds across a landscape of quiet, red-clay earth and dense woodland where the North Branch Wildcat Creek marks the rhythm of the land. It lies 26.0 miles southeast of Fort Mill, SC (from Fort Mill, SC: bearing 134°T), and is situated 8.9 miles east of Lancaster. Sunlight filters through the pine canopy in long, amber shafts that catch the dust of unpaved turnoffs, illuminating a terrain defined by the steady, inland persistence of the Piedmont. Three miles from the stillness of Rowells Pond, the air holds a heavy, earthen scent, and the horizon is broken only by the distant, rugged silhouette of Forty Acre Rock. The Buford Recreation Complex provides a singular clearing in this thicket, offering a space where the community gathers under a sky that turns a bruised, deep violet as the heat of the afternoon finally yields to the cooling shade of the trees.

Buford maintains a character rooted in the slow, deliberate labor of agriculture and the quiet endurance of families who have worked these fields for generations. Small-scale timber operations and local farming define the economy, keeping the pace of daily life tied to the seasonal shifts of the soil rather than the frantic demands of modern commerce. There is a profound simplicity in the way the local school systems and roadside markers anchor the identity of Buford, reflecting a history that values resilience over outward display. The quietude here is not an absence of life, but a steady, measured pulse, felt in the way the wind moves through the hardwoods and the way the light lingers over the fields long after the day’s work has concluded.
