Explore Conway, South 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 Conway, 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 Conway.
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.

Conway reveals itself through the steady, dark flow of the Kingston Lake as it winds through the low-lying plains. It lies 10.9 miles north-northwest of Socastee, SC (from Socastee, SC: bearing 345°T), and is situated 9.4 miles north-northwest of Forestbrook. The surrounding terrain consists of quiet woodland and expansive, flat acreage that stretches toward the horizon, far from any salt-heavy air. Five miles away, the landscape dips into the basin of Cates Bay, where the shadows of ancient trees lengthen across the soil as evening approaches. Residents often find a moment of peace at the Main Street Mini Park, a small patch of green that serves as a focal point for the daily movement of the populace. In the distance, the faint silhouette of High Hill provides the only significant break in an otherwise level and fertile horizon.
Colonial roots anchored Conway during a time when the waterways served as the primary arteries for trade and movement. The local economy grew from the timber and agriculture that thrived in the nutrient-rich soil, establishing a foundation that persists in the quiet industry of the region. Workers still tend to the land and manage the logistics of regional commerce, maintaining a pace that favors deliberate craftsmanship over frantic speed. While modern infrastructure now carries the weight of trade, the influence of these early economic pursuits remains visible in the sturdy, time-worn architecture of the business district. Even as the decades have shifted the focus toward new ventures, the reliance on the land continues to define the character of those who operate here.
Cultural life in Conway centers on a deep appreciation for the Southern traditions that have been passed down through generations. The architecture of the downtown district reflects a commitment to preservation, providing a backdrop for the various seasonal gatherings that bring neighbors together in the streets. Notable figures such as the novelist Josephine Humphreys have drawn inspiration from the specific textures of this environment, finding stories in the interplay of light and shadow across the landscape. Whether attending a local festival or simply observing the afternoon sun as it glints off the surface of the Kingston Lake, one notices a distinct sense of continuity. Life here proceeds with a gravity that honors the past while acknowledging the quiet, persistent pulse of the present.

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.
