Explore Lakewood, 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 Lakewood, 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 Lakewood.
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.

Lakewood emerges from the quiet intersection of pine-dusted earth and the persistent, amber-tinted flow of the Cogdell Branch. It lies 19.9 miles northwest of Florence, SC (from Florence, SC: bearing 312°T), and is situated 3.0 miles east-northeast of Hartsville. The landscape surrounding Lakewood is defined by the flat, expansive reach of Cypress Flat, a basin that holds the humidity of the long afternoons until the light turns a bruised, heavy gold. Dogwood Lake acts as a mirror for the sky, its edges softened by the encroaching shadows of the undergrowth, while the distant, faint silhouette of Ballast Ridge provides a jagged boundary to the horizon. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the dense, sandy soil supports the resilient growth of Sand Hills State Forest, which acts as a silent guardian to the wilderness character of the region.
Lakewood maintains a pulse dictated by the turning of the seasons and the modest persistence of local agriculture, a rhythm that remains untroubled by the frantic pace of larger hubs. The legacy of the land is grounded in the hard work of generations who cleared the brush and managed the timber, fostering an economy that values the tangible output of the soil and the steady trade of the local markets. Residents often gather at Centerville Recreation Area, where the land opens into managed clearings that offer a reprieve from the dense thickets and provide a space for the community to witness the slow, deliberate transition from day to evening. This place possesses a stubborn, quiet identity, existing in the spaces between the major thoroughfares where the air carries the scent of damp earth and the quiet labor of those who call Lakewood home.

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.
