How to Use This Dale, South Carolina Map

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

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 Dale, South Carolina

Dale maintains a quiet composure across a landscape of flat, humid lowlands where the air often carries the briny, heavy scent of the Atlantic Ocean despite the miles of earth between. It lies 8.7 miles north of Beaufort, SC (from Beaufort, SC: bearing 352°T), and is situated 8.6 miles north-northeast of Burton. The terrain is defined by the slow, rhythmic pulse of South Wimbee Creek, which carves its way through the dense vegetation and dark, saturated soil. Nearby, the presence of Halfmoon Island adds a jagged, marshy texture to the horizon, while the expanse of Warsaw Flats stretches out like a shallow basin toward the distant rise of Fiddlers Ridge. Sunlight here has a way of thickening in the late afternoon, turning the tall grasses into shimmering blades of copper that sway in the humid breath of the coast.

Dale preserves a character forged by generations of labor and the deep, persistent roots of the Gullah-Geechee tradition that informs the daily cadence of life. While the local economy remains tied to the land and the slow cycles of the seasons, the Dale Recreation Complex serves as a vital center where the community gathers to mark the passage of time. Life here moves with the deliberation of the tides, far removed from the bustle of the distant city, and the proximity to the serene waters of Spring Well Pond offers a quiet respite for those who know the hidden turns of the backroads. It is a place where the weight of history is not shouted but felt in the stillness of the fields and the enduring strength of the people who call Dale their own.

About This Dale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dale, South Carolina. Coordinates: 32.555428, -80.701559. 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 Dale includes the ZIP code (29940, 29914), telephone area code (843), county seat of Beaufort County (Beaufort), and school district assignment (Beaufort 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.
