How to Use This Avenue, Maryland Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Avenue, 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 Avenue.

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 Avenue, Maryland

Avenue is a locality in St. Mary's County, Maryland, United States. It is a small community with a population of 680. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Avenue is located at 38.2562°N, 76.7677°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 20609.

Avenue emerges from the flat, dark earth of the peninsula like a quiet thought held between the winding turns of Saint Patrick Creek. It lies 12.3 miles west-southwest of Hollywood, MD (from Hollywood, MD: bearing 240°T), and is situated 7.6 miles west-southwest of Leonardtown. The landscape here is defined by a deep, patient stillness, where the horizon remains unobstructed by the distant, hazy blue of Pea Ridge, which stands as a mere suggestion of height far to the west. Fields of dense, heavy soil stretch toward the horizon, occasionally broken by the quiet surface of Ledford Farm Pond, which holds the sky like a fallen mirror. The air carries a heavy, humid weight, particularly as the sun begins to dip, casting a long, amber glow that pulls the deep green out of the woods and turns the fallow fields into stretches of burnt copper.

Avenue sustains itself through a long-standing dialogue with the land, where the economy remains tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the maintenance of the rural interior. History is not a loud proclamation here but a quiet persistence, visible in the weathered barns and the modest, sturdy dwellings that have occupied these plots for generations. Residents find their recreation in the quietude of the local landscape, often wandering toward St. Clements Island Sp to observe the undisturbed native flora or trekking the path of Big Meadow Trail. Life in Avenue moves with the unforced cadence of the seasons, characterized by a persistent, grounded modesty that values the steady work of the harvest over the frantic pace of the outside world.

About This Avenue Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avenue, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.25624, -76.767745. 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 Avenue includes the ZIP code (20609), telephone area code (301, 240), county seat of St. Mary's County (Leonardtown), and school district assignment.

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.
