Explore Bushwood, 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 Bushwood, 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 Bushwood.
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.

Bushwood emerges from the quiet, flat expanse of the Maryland landscape as a collection of fields and low-lying woodlands that hold the heat of the afternoon sun. It lies 9.7 miles south-southeast of Wicomico, MD (from Wicomico, MD: bearing 147°T), and is situated 7.8 miles west of Leonardtown. The terrain here is defined by broad stretches of fertile earth, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the dark, serrated silhouettes of distant stands of trees. A mile from the center, the waters of Tomakokin Creek move with a sluggish, deliberate intent, carving a path through the silt that has nourished this soil for generations. At the 7Th District Community Park, the grass grows thick and unmanicured, offering a place where the wind carries the dry, sweet scent of cut hay across the open expanse. Even at dusk, when the light turns a bruised shade of violet, the land retains a heavy, settled stillness that suggests a life governed by the slow turning of the seasons rather than the urgency of the clock.
Bushwood retains an agrarian character that echoes the patterns of early inland settlement, where the economy has long been tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage. While the pace of modern life hums distantly, the residents maintain a connection to the land that is neither sentimental nor performative, but purely functional. Beyond the immediate reach of the farms, one might travel toward the Big Meadow Trail, a path that cuts through the brush and marks the transition toward the more rugged, distant horizon where Pea Ridge rises faintly against the sky. Life in Bushwood is measured by the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the occasional trip toward Ledford Farm Pond, where the water mirrors the shifting cloud cover. It is a place of modest scale and deep consistency, where the history of the region is felt in the weight of the air and the endurance of the local fields.

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.
