How to Use This Jackson, South Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jackson, 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 Jackson.
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 Jackson, South Carolina
Jackson is a locality in Georgetown County, South Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,521. The population density is 166.8 people per km². Jackson is located at 33.3286°N, 81.7920°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Jackson is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 29440, 29831.Jackson occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the humid breath of the Atlantic Ocean tempers the heat of the afternoon. It lies 9.7 miles west-southwest of Murrells Inlet, SC (from Murrells Inlet, SC: bearing 249°T), and is situated 6.1 miles west-northwest of Litchfield Beach. The terrain around Jackson remains largely flat, defined by the slow, meandering path of Chapel Creek as it cuts through the sandy soil toward the coast. To the west, the faint silhouette of Sand Ridge marks the horizon, a distant reminder of the elevation changes that define the broader region beyond the immediate, moisture-heavy plains. The air here holds a permanent, heavy stillness, especially when the sun dips low and casts a pale, bruised light over the marshy edges of the Samworth Wildlife Management Area.
Economic life in Jackson maintains a quiet consistency, tethered to the rhythms of the land and the proximity of the water. Local industry draws its character from the surrounding expanses, where the stillness of Jessamine Pond offers a stark contrast to the nearby salt-tinged breeze. Historical layers are evident in the way the local infrastructure accommodates the proximity of Rabbit Island, shaping how the community interacts with the shifting tides. Life in Jackson moves with the measured pace of the seasons, where the primary concerns remain the maintenance of the natural landscape and the quiet preservation of a way of life that prefers the shade of the pines to the rapid development found elsewhere.

About This Jackson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jackson, South Carolina. Coordinates: 33.328575, -81.792015. 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 Jackson includes the ZIP code (29440, 29831), telephone area code (864), county seat of Georgetown County (Georgetown), and school district assignment (Aiken 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.
