Explore Wedgefield, 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 Wedgefield, 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 Wedgefield.
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.

Wedgefield exists as a quiet confluence of pine-shadowed earth and persistent, slow-moving water where the low-lying plains of the interior stretch toward the distant, hazy blue silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 1.4 miles west-northwest of Five Forks, SC (from Five Forks, SC: bearing 284°T), and is situated 8.5 miles east-southeast of Greenville. Little Gilder Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the landscape, its dark currents feeding the moisture into the soil that supports the dense stands of timber and tangled undergrowth. Only a mile away, the quiet boundaries of Kingsbridge Park offer a stillness that mirrors the unhurried movement of the local wildlife. The air here holds a heavy, humid weight during the summer months, a thick stillness that seems to suspend the very light as it filters through the canopy, illuminating the fine dust motes that drift above the forest floor. Four miles to the west, the water breaks over the rocks at Pelham Falls, providing a steady, rhythmic pulse that underscores the otherwise muted atmosphere of the surrounding woods.
Wedgefield carries the quiet gravity of a place defined by its long-standing relationship with the land and the cycles of agricultural labor that have shaped its identity over generations. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the earth, where the labor of the field and the forest provides a steady, if modest, continuity for those who call the area home. While the modern world moves with a frantic velocity, the pace here is dictated by the slow shift of seasons and the maintenance of the homesteads that dot the landscape. Three miles out, the waters of Earls Lake remain a constant, reflective presence, holding the mirror of the sky and the shifting clouds in a deep, dark basin. There is a particular, enduring clarity to the life lived in Wedgefield, a sense that the fundamental character of the region is found not in grand monuments, but in the persistent, daily work of individuals tending to their own small corners of the world.

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.
