How to Use This Broomes Island, Maryland Map

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

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.

Broomes Island occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the interior, where the land stretches out in broad, fertile expanses far from the restlessness of the distant coast. It lies 5.2 miles north-northeast of Hollywood, MD (from Hollywood, MD: bearing 17°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north-northwest of California. Island Creek carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its winding presence serving as a vital artery that gathers the runoff of the fields and sustains the deep, dark soil of the surrounding woods. To the west, the silhouettes of Edgars Ridge rise against the evening sky, a jagged reminder of the earth’s ancient folding, while the gentle, cooling air near Greenwell Sp provides a sanctuary for the native flora that thrives in the heavy, humid heat of midsummer. The light here at dusk settles with a peculiar gravity, turning the fields to a bruised violet and casting long, thin shadows that seem to anchor the horizon to the very center of the earth.

History in Broomes Island is written in the slow accretion of labor, where the economy has long been tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the careful stewardship of the land. Generations have worked these acres, finding stability in the cultivation of crops and the quiet commerce of the interior, a way of life that remains largely untouched by the frenetic pace of urban centers. Only five miles away, the surface of Richardsons Pond reflects the stillness of the afternoon, a glassy expanse that mirrors the uncomplicated character of the people who reside here. Life moves with an unpretentious grace, defined by the seasonal turn of the harvest and the simple, enduring connections formed between neighbors who recognize that the worth of a place is measured by its solitude and the depth of its roots.
