Explore Annapolis, Maryland, 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 Annapolis, Maryland. 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 Maryland 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 Annapolis.
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.

Annapolis defines its presence through the steady, rhythmic pulse of Spa Creek, which carves a path through the landscape toward the horizon. It lies 2.1 miles east of Parole, MD (from Parole, MD: bearing 92°T), and is situated 3.5 miles east-northeast of Anne Arundel. The land here unfolds in gentle, verdant slopes that eventually give way to the low-lying terrain of Whitehall Flats, creating a sense of openness that invites the breeze from Seclude Cove. Residents often find quiet reflection near the still waters of Woolchurch Cove, where the light at dusk turns the surface into a sheet of hammered silver. To the west, the distant silhouettes of Bacon Ridge provide a firm boundary to the view, grounding the sprawl of local woodland. Weisman Park offers a green sanctuary where the salt air mingles with the scent of damp earth, grounding the coastal character of the region.
Annapolis traces its lineage to early colonial foundations, where the development of maritime trade and governance shaped the sturdy brick architecture that remains a hallmark of the streets. The local economy has evolved from its early reliance on the shipping of regional goods to a modern blend of professional services and a robust governmental presence. Industry here is tethered to the water, with boat building and marine services serving as a persistent thread in the economic fiber of the neighborhood. The influence of the nearby coastline ensures that the pace of work often syncs with the movement of the tides, fostering an environment where commerce feels connected to the natural cycles of the environment. Even as modern offices occupy the center, the legacy of the harbor continues to dictate the orientation of the streets and the priorities of the workforce.
Annapolis carries an air of quiet distinction, defined by the presence of the United States Naval Academy, which trains the future leaders of the armed forces. Citizens frequently gather for community events that celebrate the maritime heritage of the region, often centered on the historic squares that have hosted gatherings for generations. Among the figures who have left their mark on the national consciousness, Thurgood Marshall stands as a monumental presence, his legacy honored by a statue that invites passersby to contemplate the weight of his contributions to justice. The town retains a deliberate character, where the preservation of colonial-era structures exists alongside the daily bustle of a contemporary legislative hub. Visitors walking the narrow lanes find that the past is not a museum piece, but a living component of the daily experience, echoing in the footfalls on the pavement.

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.
