How to Use This Keowee Key, South Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Keowee Key, 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 Keowee Key.
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 Keowee Key, South Carolina
Keowee Key is a locality in Oconee County, South Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,716. The population density is 302.4 people per km². Keowee Key is located at 34.8257°N, 82.9158°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 29676.Keowee Key occupies a verdant peninsula that stretches like a beckoning finger into the still, deep waters of Lake Keowee. It lies 10.8 miles north-northwest of Clemson, SC (from Clemson, SC: bearing 336°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north-northeast of Seneca. The air here holds the damp, pine-scented weight of the inland piedmont, where the terrain rises in quiet, forested swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. Just a mile away, the persistent rush of High Falls marks the descent of Whetner Branch, a hidden pulse of water that feeds the broader, labyrinthine network of the lake. Sunlight at dusk catches the surface of the water, turning the expanse into a sheet of hammered copper that lingers against the dark, encroaching treeline long after the temperature begins to drop.
Keowee Key serves as a private, residential enclave that draws its character from the intersection of modern leisure and the rugged, unyielding topography of the South Carolina foothills. The local economy and daily rhythm are defined by an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle, as residents navigate the winding roads that mirror the erratic, natural contours of the shoreline. While visitors often gravitate toward the nearby trails of High Falls County Park, the internal life of Keowee Key remains focused on the quiet stewardship of its woodland canopy and the maintenance of the docks that allow for passage across the lake. It is a place where the stillness of the interior woods provides a stark, necessary counterpoint to the busy, human-made infrastructure of the docks and golf courses, grounding the inhabitants in a landscape that feels both curated and ancient.

About This Keowee Key Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Keowee Key, South Carolina. Coordinates: 34.8257, -82.9158. 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 Keowee Key includes the ZIP code (29676), telephone area code (864), county seat of Oconee County (Walhalla), and school district assignment (Oconee 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.
