Explore Startex, 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 Startex, 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 Startex.
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.

Startex occupies a modest expanse of the Piedmont upstate, where the Middle Tyger River carves a deliberate path through the red clay and thickets of pine. It lies 7.3 miles east of Greer, SC (from Greer, SC: bearing 96°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west of Spartanburg. The terrain rises and falls in long, quiet swells, a landscape defined by the heavy, humid air of the interior and the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains visible against the western sky. Only two miles distant, the still waters of Berry Shoals Pond reflect the shifting light of afternoon, a calm contrast to the steady, rhythmic flow of the river nearby. The light here at dusk possesses a singular quality, catching the high, serrated tree lines and casting the fields into deep, velvet shadows that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped below the horizon.
Startex maintains a quiet dignity born from its roots as a center of textile production, an economy that once dictated the pulse of the working day and the architectural character of the neighborhood. While the clatter of machinery has faded into the past, the legacy of that industry remains in the sturdy, utilitarian structures that define the local landscape. Life in Startex moves with a deliberate, unhurried cadence, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs, yet connected to the wider region by the shared heritage of the textile mills. Residents find respite in the simple, wooded grounds of Memory Park, a space that offers a reprieve from the modern hum, while those seeking the sight of moving water often travel toward the sound of Pelham Falls.

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.
