Explore Oakland, 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 Oakland, 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 Oakland.
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.

Oakland occupies a low-lying expanse where the humid breath of the Atlantic Ocean carries the scent of salt across the flat, verdant terrain. It lies 5.9 miles southwest of North Charleston, SC (from North Charleston, SC: bearing 216°T), and is situated 6.1 miles west of Charleston. The land here yields to the pull of the tides, defined by the winding passage of the Stono River that marks the edge of the local geography. Beneath a sky that often holds the bruised color of a coming storm, the horizon remains stubbornly level, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Long Ridge that haunts the far western view. Residents find their footing on the level ground near the West Ashley Greenway, a stretch of earth that serves as a quiet artery for movement through the dense, moisture-laden air. The light at dusk settles heavily over the reeds, turning the waterways into mirrors of polished pewter before the darkness claims the marsh.
Oakland bears the weight of a long, complex inheritance, where the echoes of agricultural labor and the Gullah-Geechee traditions pulse quietly beneath the surface of modern life. Prosperity once followed the cycles of the earth, though the economy now shifts with the tide, reflecting a blend of service and local enterprise that keeps the pace measured and deliberate. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the Accabee Flats provide a reminder of the shifting basins that have shaped human settlement for generations. Travelers passing through might notice the stillness of the afternoon, broken only by the rustle of palmettos or the distant call of egrets moving toward West Marsh Island. Even on quiet days, the memory of the past lingers in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried cadence of speech, suggesting that Oakland remains anchored to its roots even as the currents of the coast pull restlessly at its edges.

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.
