How to Use This Brownsville, Maryland Map

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

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.

Brownsville emerges from the landscape where the steady, dark pulse of Israel Creek carves a path through the quiet earth. It lies 12.0 miles west of Ballenger Creek, MD (from Ballenger Creek, MD: bearing 273°T), and is situated 5.0 miles north-northwest of Brunswick. The terrain here is defined by a slow transition of elevation, where the low, fertile plains press against the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the immediate boundaries of Brownsville, the land is marked by the modest, reflective waters of the Brownsville Pond Fma Pfa, which captures the shifting moods of the sky throughout the seasons. The air feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and ancient limestone, a physical weight that anchors the locality to the bedrock of the region.

Brownsville maintains a character shaped by the steady, unyielding rhythms of agrarian life and the legacy of early inland settlement. The local economy has long been tied to the productivity of the surrounding fields, a tradition that persists in the quiet movement of equipment and the seasonal labor of the harvest. Visitors often look toward the nearby expanse of Frog Hollow to understand the deeper geography of the area, or they seek the longer, more strenuous path of the Snavelys Ford Trail for a clearer view of the terrain. Life in Brownsville moves with a deliberate, measured pace, indifferent to the clamor of the wider world, favoring instead the persistence of a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for generations.

About This Brownsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brownsville, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.378174, -77.661555. 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 Brownsville includes the ZIP code (21715, 21617, 21758), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Washington County (Hagerstown), and school district assignment (Washington County Public Schools).

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.
