Explore Hartsville, 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 Hartsville, 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 Hartsville.
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.

Hartsville occupies a quiet expanse of the South Carolina interior, where the land stretches out in patient, fertile relief. It lies 21.6 miles northwest of Florence, SC (from Florence, SC: bearing 305°T), and is situated 1.4 miles south of North Hartsville. The horizon remains flat and unburdened, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of Ballast Ridge far to the west. Within the town limits, the waters of Prestwood Lake gather in a calm mirror, reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the region during the late afternoon. Just a short distance away, the dark, slow-moving currents of Black Creek trace a path through the earth, shaping the local topography with persistent, quiet motion. The landscape feels grounded and vast, a place where the sky claims a larger share of the view than any rising ground.
Hartsville grew from the ambition of families who recognized the potential in the surrounding fields and the steady flow of water. The local economy maintains a deliberate pace, historically centered on the production of essential goods that have kept the region tethered to the global marketplace for decades. Large-scale manufacturing and industrial innovation define the daily rhythm, providing a steady pulse for those who work the lines and manage the logistics of distribution. The influence of the textile and paper industries remains evident, serving as a reminder of the labor that built these streets. Even as technology shifts the nature of production, the town retains a practical, industrious spirit that honors its foundational roots.
Cultural life in Hartsville finds its center within the protected, green borders of Centennial Park, where the community gathers to mark the passage of the seasons. The town serves as a home for Coker University, an institution that brings a scholarly energy to the local character and fosters a tradition of intellectual curiosity. Visitors often gravitate toward the historic downtown district, where the architecture tells stories of past prosperity through brickwork and preserved facades. Among those who have left their mark on the wider world, the athlete Larry Doby stands as a figure of immense significance, his legacy rooted in the same soil that sustains the town today. Whether during a local festival or a quiet Tuesday morning, Hartsville moves with a steady, enduring grace that defines its identity.

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.
