Explore Cheverly, 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 Cheverly, 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 Cheverly.
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.

Cheverly unfolds across a landscape of gentle, verdant slopes that catch the amber light of late afternoon with a quiet, persistent grace. It lies 1.1 miles west-southwest of Landover, MD (from Landover, MD: bearing 249°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east-northeast of Washington. The land feels softened by the proximity of the distant Atlantic, carrying a faint, salt-tinged breeze that hints at the coastal influence lingering just twenty-three miles away. Nearby, the waters of Beaverdam Creek meander through the terrain, providing a serene corridor for local wildlife and those who wander its banks. While the jagged peaks of the Appalachian Mountains remain far to the west, their presence is felt as a distant, hazy promise on the horizon. Within the borders of the locality, Cheverly Community Park offers a sanctuary of mature trees and open spaces where the rhythm of the day slows to a meditative pace.
Development in Cheverly traces its roots to the expansion of regional rail lines, which transformed the area from quiet farmland into a cohesive residential enclave. The local economy thrives on the industrious spirit of its residents, many of whom contribute to the professional and technical sectors that define the broader metropolitan corridor. While the Navy Yard Channel serves as a reminder of the region’s maritime heritage, the modern workforce looks toward innovation and service-based industries to sustain the local vitality. The history of the land is preserved in the thoughtful preservation of older dwellings, which sit amidst a landscape that has gracefully balanced growth with the preservation of its original, wooded character. Commerce here remains intimately tied to the daily needs of the neighborhood, fostering a self-reliant atmosphere that honors the labor of those who came before.
Cultural life in Cheverly finds its expression in a strong sense of civic participation and a shared appreciation for the arts and local tradition. Residents often gather for seasonal festivities that reflect a deep-seated commitment to neighborliness, creating bonds that endure through the changing seasons. The town is marked by the presence of Cheverly Community Park, a vital hub for recreation and quiet reflection that anchors the social experience of the people. While the area does not claim the fame of global icons, it has been home to individuals of note, such as the accomplished author and journalist Tom Sherwood, whose work has long informed the public discourse of the region. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate purpose, characterized by a respect for both the natural features like the nearby Lake Artemesia and the quiet dignity of the people who call this place their own.

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.
