How to Use This Berwyn Heights, Maryland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Berwyn Heights, 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 Berwyn Heights.
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.

It lies 1.7 miles east-northeast of College Park, MD (from College Park, MD: bearing 57°T), and is situated 9.6 miles northeast of Washington. Sunlight filters through the canopy of mature hardwoods, casting long, shifting shadows across the lawns that define the local topography. At the edge of the neighborhood, Pops Park Playground serves as a central gathering space where the land levels out, offering a modest clearing that anchors the daily rhythm of the residents. While the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains remain far beyond the western horizon, the local atmosphere here remains firmly rooted in the terrestrial stillness of the inland plains.
Berwyn Heights maintains a distinct character forged from its early twentieth-century origins, evolving from a speculative development into a settled residential enclave that serves the professional corridors of the region. The local economy finds its pulse in the nearby academic and federal institutions, drawing a population that values the steady, deliberate pace of life far from the clamor of larger urban centers. Residents often find their way toward the tranquil waters of Lake Artemesia, a short distance away, where the water mirrors the sky and provides a sanctuary for local birds. This sense of continuity is felt in the steady maintenance of the neighborhood streets, where the quiet hum of commerce and daily errands speaks to a community that prioritizes stability and a deliberate, measured growth.

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.
