How to Use This Sharon, South Carolina Map

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

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.

Sharon manifests as a quiet expanse of Piedmont earth where the horizon is defined by the soft, undulant relief of the landscape rather than the jagged peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a distant, hazy indigo suggestion to the west. It lies 15.0 miles west-southwest of Greenwood, SC (from Greenwood, SC: bearing 254°T), and is situated 3.6 miles southwest of Abbeville. Flagreed Creek carves a meditative path through the red-clay soil a mile from the center, its waters feeding the verdant, tangled corridors of the surrounding woodlands. The light at dusk here possesses a peculiar, heavy amber quality, clinging to the tall pines and the wide, open fields that define the borders of Sharon. Only four miles away, the quiet basin of Parsons Mountain Lake offers a stillness that complements the rhythmic, slow-turning pace of the surrounding countryside.

Agriculture and the legacy of the textile era have long provided the structural skeleton for the economy of Sharon, leaving behind a quiet resilience that persists in the weathered wood of old barns and the disciplined rows of crops. While the sprawling, shadowed canopy of Sumter National Forest provides a deep, pine-scented lungs for the region nine miles out, the local pulse is more immediately felt at the Pete Smith Sports Complex, where the evening air often fills with the sharp, rhythmic crack of a bat against a ball. This is a place where the weight of historical layers—from the agrarian foundations to the modern persistence of a rural interior—is carried in the simple, unadorned daily routines of the residents. Life in Sharon moves with the deliberate gravity of a pendulum, steady and unhurried, grounded by the soil and the persistent, quiet growth of the surrounding timberland.

About This Sharon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sharon, South Carolina. Coordinates: 34.952023, -81.343523. 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 Sharon includes the ZIP code (29620, 29742), telephone area code (864), county seat of Abbeville County (Abbeville), and school district assignment (York School District 1).

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.
