Explore Northlake, 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 Northlake, 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 Northlake.
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.

Northlake emerges from the humid, red-clay expanse of the piedmont, where the land holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has begun its descent. It lies 4.7 miles north-northwest of Anderson, SC (from Anderson, SC: bearing 336°T), and is situated 2.6 miles north-northeast of Centerville. The local geography is defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Six and Twenty Creek, which carves a narrow, verdant vein through the dense woodland that surrounds Northlake. To the northwest, the hazy, blue-tinted silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains press against the horizon, providing a distant, jagged boundary to the otherwise gentle, undulating terrain. Within the broader, sprawling expanse of Hartwell Lake, the environment shifts from dry, pine-needle-covered slopes to damp, sheltered coves where the light turns a soft, bruised violet during the transition into evening.
History here is measured not in grand monuments, but in the slow transformation of the landscape from agrarian fields into the quiet, managed recreation spaces that now define the region. The economy in Northlake maintains a tether to the seasonal rhythms of the inland woods and the water, supported by the proximity of Broadway Lake, which serves as a secondary anchor for the local pace of life. Residents operate with an awareness of the changing water levels of Hartwell Lake, a reality that dictates the ebb and flow of regional industry and recreation. While the town remains quiet, the atmosphere is thickened by a sense of endurance, as if the soil itself retains the weight of the generations who first cleared these thickets to build a life far from the reach of the distant, restless tides of the coast.

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.
