How to Use This Calhoun Falls, South Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Calhoun Falls, 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 Calhoun Falls.
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.

ZIP code: 29628.Calhoun Falls emerges from the red-clay piedmont where the quiet waters of Sawney Creek navigate the dense, shadowed thickets toward the expansive basin of Richard B Russell Lake. It lies 25.8 miles west-southwest of Greenwood, SC (from Greenwood, SC: bearing 254°T), and is situated 13.7 miles west-southwest of Abbeville. The air here holds a heavy, sun-warmed moisture, lingering long after the cicadas retreat into the deep green canopy of the nearby Sumter National Forest. On the furthest horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a silent witness to the stillness of the landscape. Within the Richard B. Russell Recreation Area, the earth feels ancient and deliberate, marked by the slow transformation of pine needles into soil and the patient, cyclical rise of the water against the clay banks.
Calhoun Falls retains the quiet temperament of an industrial past, having evolved from the rhythmic clatter of textile mills that once defined the regional economy and dictated the tempo of daily life. The legacy of those brick-and-mortar foundations remains, even as the focus shifts toward the stewardship of the surrounding woods and the quiet recreation offered by the reservoir. Residents move through their days with a steady, unforced cadence, shaped by a history of labor that has long since settled into the quietude of the present. The persistence of the land itself—a stubborn, iron-rich earth—supports a life that values the simple weight of the seasons and the enduring presence of the water that anchors the geography of Calhoun Falls.

About This Calhoun Falls Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina. Coordinates: 34.092338, -82.595688. 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 Calhoun Falls includes the ZIP code (29628), telephone area code (864), county seat of Abbeville County (Abbeville), and school district assignment (Abbeville County School District).
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.
