How to Use This Lakewood, South Carolina Map

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.

About Lakewood, South Carolina

Lakewood is a locality in Sumter County, South Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,810. The population density is 144.0 people per km². Lakewood is located at 33.8341°N, 80.3489°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 29072, 29841, 29732.

Lakewood emerges from the flat, pine-shadowed plains of the South Carolina interior, where the horizon is defined by the soft, distant silhouettes of the Sand Hills. It lies 5.1 miles south of Sumter, SC (from Sumter, SC: bearing 186°T), and is situated 9.7 miles southeast of Cherryvale. The atmosphere here holds a heavy, pressurized stillness, particularly in the humid afternoons when the light turns the color of pale honey and settles over the dark, needle-strewn earth. Just a mile away, the quiet surface of Des Champs Pond mirrors the shifting sky, while Pocalla Creek carves a slow, meandering path through the local clay. The air carries the scent of damp soil and ancient resin, a persistent reminder of the vast, quiet woodlands that stretch toward the horizon, punctuated only by the occasional clearing or the sprawling, verdant canopy of Angel Oaks.

Lakewood maintains a rhythm dictated by the cycles of the sun and the slow, deliberate work of an economy rooted in the land. The proximity to Harvin Bay, a shallow basin five miles distant, has historically influenced the way the ground holds water and shapes the local agricultural character. Throughout the decades, the settlement has grown alongside the steady, quiet expansion of regional forestry, with Manchester State Forest providing a distant, timbered backdrop to the local industry. Life in Lakewood moves with a measured, intentional grace, defined less by the clamor of rapid change and more by the enduring presence of the pines and the persistent, quiet currents of the nearby creek.
