How to Use This The Cliffs Valley, South Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for The Cliffs Valley, 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 The Cliffs Valley.

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.

About The Cliffs Valley, South Carolina

The Cliffs Valley is a locality in Greenville County, South Carolina, United States. It is a small community with a population of 736. The population density is 44.0 people per km². The Cliffs Valley is located at 35.1395°N, 82.4360°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 29690.

The Cliffs Valley rises from the verdant, undulating terrain of the South Carolina piedmont, where the air holds the cool, damp weight of heavy timber and deep earth. It lies 17.8 miles north-northwest of Taylors, SC (from Taylors, SC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 9.4 miles south of East Flat Rock. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of hardwood, illuminating the transition from high-country ridges toward the lower, shadowed basins that define the local topography. Only a mile away, the North Saluda Reservoir mirrors the shifting sky, its still surface providing a quiet anchor for the surrounding woodlands. Nearby, the persistent, clear movement of Terry Creek carves a path through the soil, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the horizon line. The terrain here is defined by the sharp drop of Big Falls, where the water gains a sudden, percussive energy before settling back into the quiet, moss-covered stone of the forest floor.

Economic activity in The Cliffs Valley remains inseparable from the land’s natural character, favoring a deliberate, low-impact integration with the surrounding ecology. The heritage of the region leans into the stewardship of the piedmont, with the nearby grounds of Les Mullinax Park serving as a primary intersection between the residents and the wilderness. Beyond the immediate canopy, the proximity to Buck Forest and the deeper, more secluded reaches of Buck Hollow reinforces a sense of isolation from the frantic pace of industrial centers. Life here follows the cadence of the seasons, where the primary labor is the maintenance of the environment and the preservation of a rural, elevated lifestyle. The stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the sound of wind shifting through the pines, a reminder that the land dictates the rhythm of the day far more than the clocks do.

About This The Cliffs Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of The Cliffs Valley, South Carolina. Coordinates: 35.13951, -82.436034. 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 The Cliffs Valley includes the ZIP code (29690), telephone area code (864), county seat of Greenville County (Greenville), and school district assignment (Greenville County School District).

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.
