Explore Homewood, 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 Homewood, 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 Homewood.
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.

Homewood emerges from the dense, flat timberland where the dark, sluggish waters of Brown Swamp carve a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 3.3 miles north of Conway, SC (from Conway, SC: bearing 359°T), and is situated 16.4 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach. The landscape here is defined by a heavy, humid stillness, where the canopy of loblolly pines and hardwoods holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has begun to retreat. A mile away, the surface of Hoffman Pond Dam mirrors the shifting amber of the sky, its quiet waters providing a respite from the tangled undergrowth that dominates the surrounding acreage. To the distant northwest, the faint, hazy outline of Sandy Ridge marks the horizon, a reminder of the rising elevation that separates this humid, verdant basin from the higher country beyond.
Homewood persists as a quiet intersection of agrarian tradition and the slow, deliberate pulse of rural life, far removed from the frenetic energy of larger urban centers. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the earth and the timber industry, with the residents maintaining a steady, pragmatic relationship with the land that has sustained their families for generations. Those seeking the solace of the outdoors often find their way to Sheerwood Park, where the trails offer a glimpse into the diverse flora of the region, while the deeper depressions like Cates Bay serve as seasonal markers for the changing water table. Life in Homewood moves with an unpretentious grace, measured not by the clock, but by the lengthening shadows that fall across the fields as evening settles over the quiet woods.

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.
