How to Use This Cheltenham, Maryland Map

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

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 Cheltenham, Maryland

Cheltenham is a locality in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,200. The population density is 280.0 people per km². Cheltenham is located at 38.7357°N, 76.8264°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 20623.

Cheltenham reveals itself through a landscape of persistent, quiet transition where the heavy scent of loam rises from the earth after a summer rain. It lies 1.7 miles south-southwest of Rosaryville, MD (from Rosaryville, MD: bearing 212°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east-southeast of Prince Georges. The terrain here avoids the drama of distant heights like Bacon Ridge, favoring instead a subtle, undulating topography that anchors itself to the steady flow of Piscataway Creek just a mile to the west. Within the boundaries of Cheltenham Wma, the land maintains a wild, unmanicured integrity, offering a sanctuary where the light at dusk filters through dense canopy, casting long, bruised shadows across the damp ground. Beyond the immediate thickets, the horizon remains flat and expansive, a terrestrial stretch of inland Maryland that feels entirely detached from the influence of the distant coastline.

History in Cheltenham lingers in the architecture of the soil and the legacy of agricultural roots that once defined the regional economy. While the proximity to Cedarville State Forest provides a vast, breathing lung for the locality, the day-to-day existence is marked by a deliberate, measured pace that predates modern sprawl. The proximity to Dower House Pond offers a singular, reflective stillness, a mirror for the sky that has remained a constant feature as the surrounding roads have slowly evolved from dirt paths to paved corridors. Life in Cheltenham moves with the rhythm of the changing seasons, where the transition from the humid heat of the interior plains to the sharp, bracing cold of winter dictates the character of the day, leaving the residents to cultivate a quiet, enduring connection to a landscape that asks for little but offers a profound, steady presence.

About This Cheltenham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cheltenham, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.735671, -76.826359. 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 Cheltenham includes the ZIP code (20623), telephone area code (301, 240), county seat of Prince George's County (Upper Marlboro), and school district assignment.

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.
