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

About Cedar Heights, Maryland
Cedar Heights is a locality in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,597. The population density is 2854.7 people per km². Cedar Heights is located at 38.9037°N, 76.9059°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 20872, 20743.Cedar Heights rises above the Piedmont landscape where the earth settles into a quiet, enduring rhythm of clay and limestone. It lies 2.8 miles south-southwest of Damascus, MD (from Damascus, MD: bearing 209°T), and is situated 6.8 miles north of Montgomery. The Little Seneca Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, thin light that characterizes the late afternoon here. Beyond the immediate thickets, the silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the western horizon, a distant and jagged reminder of the geological theater that shaped this inland expanse. Residents often walk the trails of County Land, where the silence is broken only by the shifting of dry leaves and the occasional call of a hawk circling above the open fields.
Cedar Heights maintains a steady pulse defined by its proximity to the land, drawing sustenance from the small-scale agricultural ventures and modest commerce that have kept the area grounded for generations. The legacy of colonial settlement remains etched into the foundation of the older dwellings, where weathered brick and stone reflect the practical, utilitarian spirit of the original builders. Four miles away, the Union Bridge Municipal Reservoir serves as a quiet anchor for the region, offering a stillness that complements the deliberate pace of daily life. Here, the air carries the scent of damp soil and rising dust, a sensory reminder of a place that remains stubbornly itself, indifferent to the hurried progress of the wider world.

About This Cedar Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cedar Heights, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.903738, -76.905879. 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 Cedar Heights includes the ZIP code (20872, 20743), telephone area code (301, 240), county seat of Montgomery County (Rockville), and school district assignment (Prince George's 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.
