How to Use This Gifford, South Carolina Map

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

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.

Gifford stretches across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Blood Hill Creek, which carves a narrow, dark path through the damp earth of the surrounding lowlands. It lies 40.6 miles north-northwest of Hardeeville, SC (from Hardeeville, SC: bearing 347°T), and is situated 6.6 miles west of Hampton. The horizon remains flat and expansive, though on the clearest days, one might catch a faint, hazy suggestion of Magnolia Ridge rising in the distance like a wrinkle in the sky. Within the limits of Gifford, the light at dusk settles heavy and amber against the pine stands, turning the needles into fine, metallic threads that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the tree line. Only four miles away, the waters of Lake George Warren offer a stillness that mirrors the slow, deliberate pace of the land, providing a sanctuary for the local wildlife that congregates where the ground softens into silt.

Gifford anchors its identity in the steady rhythms of agricultural life, a heritage that remains visible in the open fields and the modest, utilitarian architecture that defines the streetscape. At the center of daily movement, Gifford Park serves as a common ground where the town pauses, its boundaries marking a small but vital space for communal gathering amidst the broader expanse of timber and crop land. The economy here moves in tandem with the seasons, tied to the soil and the quiet industry of those who have worked these acres for generations. History in Gifford is not found in grand monuments, but in the way the wind moves through the tall grass and the persistent, unhurried flow of the creek, grounding every inhabitant in the quiet, enduring reality of a place that knows exactly what it is.

About This Gifford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gifford, South Carolina. Coordinates: 32.859608, -81.238993. 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 Gifford includes the ZIP code (29923), telephone area code (843), county seat of Hampton County (Hampton), and school district assignment (Hampton 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.
