How to Use This Meggett, South Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Meggett, 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 Meggett.

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.

Meggett unfolds as a quiet expanse of Lowcountry landscape where the dark, brackish waters of Oyster House Creek carve slow, serpentine paths through the dense, verdant marshland. It lies 16.9 miles west of James Island, SC (from James Island, SC: bearing 268°T), and is situated 1.1 miles south of Hollywood. The horizon remains stubbornly flat, a low-slung theater for the humid, golden light that thickens as it filters through the canopy of ancient oaks and Spanish moss. Eleven miles away, the Atlantic Ocean exerts a rhythmic, invisible influence on the tides, pulling at the brackish veins that feed the silty banks. Meggett Park provides a singular anchor for the land, offering a patch of green permanence amidst the shifting, soft terrain that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Fiddlers Ridge.

History in Meggett clings to the soil, echoing the agricultural labor and Gullah-Geechee traditions that have long defined the cycles of this humid, fertile territory. The local economy persists in a delicate dialogue with the earth, where the memory of truck farming remains etched in the character of the nearby Church Flats and the proximity of Yonges Island. Though the modern world hums somewhere beyond the trees, life here follows the slow, deliberate pulse of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of distant urban centers. Residents navigate the landscape with a deep, inherited knowledge of the water’s edge, finding a steady, unadorned beauty in the way the sun sets behind the distant Greenway Plantation Pond, casting long, bruised shadows over a land that refuses to be hurried.

About This Meggett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Meggett, South Carolina. Coordinates: 32.689659, -80.257585. 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 Meggett includes the ZIP code (29449), telephone area code (864), county seat of Charleston County (Charleston), and school district assignment (Charleston 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.
