How to Use This Murphys Estates, South Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Murphys Estates, 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 Murphys Estates.
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 Murphys Estates, South Carolina
Murphys Estates is a locality in Edgefield County, South Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,719. The population density is 323.4 people per km². Murphys Estates is located at 33.6012°N, 81.9443°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 29860.Murphys Estates occupies a quiet expanse of inland South Carolina where the land settles into a rhythmic pattern of pine stands and cleared fields. It lies 7.0 miles north of North Augusta, SC (from North Augusta, SC: bearing 10°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north of Augusta. Sweetwater Branch carves a narrow, persistent path through the local topography, its dark currents reflecting the shifting canopy above. Five miles to the west, the rise of Poverty Hill disrupts the horizon, providing a solitary landmark against the expansive, humid sky. The air here holds a heavy, earthen stillness at dusk, when the light turns a bruised, singular gold and the silence of the woods presses inward against the edges of the property lines.
History in Murphys Estates clings to the soil, defined by long-standing agricultural traditions that have gradually transitioned toward modest residential development. Residents often gather at the Sweetwater Community Center, a local hub that serves as the primary anchor for neighborhood life. The economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate pace of regional commerce, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs. For those seeking the deeper landscape, the Horn Creek Hiking Trail offers a connection to the wilder stretches of the region, though the true character of Murphys Estates is found in the simple, unadorned maintenance of its private acres and the steady, seasonal cycle of the inland heat.

About This Murphys Estates Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Murphys Estates, South Carolina. Coordinates: 33.601246, -81.944281. 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 Murphys Estates includes the ZIP code (29860), telephone area code (864), county seat of Edgefield County (Edgefield), and school district assignment (Edgefield 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.
