How to Use This Glendale, South Carolina Map

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

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 Glendale, South Carolina

Glendale is a locality in Florence County, South Carolina, United States. It is a small community with a population of 244. The population density is 444.4 people per km².

Glendale occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of red clay soil and the dense, encroaching greenery typical of the inland piedmont. It lies 3.4 miles east of Florence, SC (from Florence, SC: bearing 83°T), and is situated 17.3 miles west of Marion. The terrain rises and falls in modest, rhythmic swells that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, thin shadows across the fields that stretch toward the horizon. Twomile Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the undergrowth just a mile away, its waters moving with a deliberate, muddy patience that reflects the canopy above. Further out, the distant silhouette of Big Sandy Ridge marks the limit of the view, a faint, jagged line against the pale sky that anchors the geography of the region.

Glendale emerged from the industrial ambitions of the nineteenth century, built upon the labor and brick of a textile mill that once served as the primary artery of local commerce. Though the roar of the looms has long since faded into a stillness that permeates the rows of modest dwellings, the architectural imprint of that era remains in the sturdy, utilitarian character of the structures. Residents maintain an easy familiarity with the surrounding geography, whether passing by the open grounds of Florence Memorial Stadium or observing the surface of Goose Pond, which sits two miles distant as a quiet, reflective basin. Life in Glendale moves with a measured cadence, shaped by the memory of the mill whistle and the enduring, slow-growing rhythms of the land.

About This Glendale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Glendale, South Carolina. Coordinates: 34.945078, -81.836373. 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 Glendale includes the ZIP code (29506, 29550, 29649), telephone area code (864), county seat of Florence County (Florence), and school district assignment (Spartanburg School District 3).

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.
