How to Use This South Congaree, South Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Congaree, 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 South Congaree.
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.

ZIP code: 29170.South Congaree occupies a quiet expanse of pine-studded land where the earth holds a deep, rusted hue and the horizon remains stubbornly flat. It lies 4.2 miles south of Oak Grove, SC (from Oak Grove, SC: bearing 174°T), and is situated 8.5 miles southwest of Columbia. Congaree Creek winds through the low-lying thickets nearby, its dark, tannin-stained waters carving a slow path through the loamy soil that defines the local topography. Only a mile away, the glassy surface of Amour Pond reflects the shifting clouds, providing a still counterpoint to the subtle, rhythmic pulse of the surrounding woodlands. On clear days, the faint, distant silhouette of Mullers Barn Ridge occasionally haunts the skyline, a reminder of the rising elevations far to the northwest that stand in contrast to the level plains of the immediate landscape.
South Congaree carries the weight of its agricultural roots, where the economy has long transitioned from the labor of the soil to the steady hum of modern regional commerce. The South Congaree Arena serves as the focal point for local gatherings, anchoring the social life of residents who value the space for its utility and its connection to the equestrian traditions of the region. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that keeps its own time, marked by the smell of scorched pine in the heat of midday and the sudden, cooling relief of evening shadows. Throughout the seasons, the atmosphere remains grounded in the quiet endurance of its people, who maintain a life defined by the interplay between the encroaching forest and the persistent, unfolding work of the day.

About This South Congaree Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Congaree, South Carolina. Coordinates: 33.910985, -81.135652. 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 South Congaree includes the ZIP code (29170), telephone area code (803), county seat of Lexington County (Lexington), and school district assignment (Lexington School District 2).
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.
