How to Use This Chevy Chase Section Five, Maryland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chevy Chase Section Five, 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 Chevy Chase Section Five.
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.

ZIP code: 20815.Chevy Chase Section Five occupies a quiet, forested enclave where the land slopes gently toward the basin of the distant Soapstone Valley. It lies 1.4 miles east of Bethesda, MD (from Bethesda, MD: bearing 81°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north-northwest of Washington. Large, mature oaks and maples define the skyline, their heavy branches arching over narrow streets that remain shaded even during the height of the humid Maryland summer. The air here carries a distinct, earthy stillness, particularly in the quiet corners of Gazebo Park, where the light at dusk filters through the canopy in thin, golden slats. Although the Appalachian Mountains remain a distant, hazy promise far to the west, the local terrain feels firmly rooted in the Piedmont, defined by its steady, inland elevation and the cooling presence of Coquelin Run winding through the nearby woods.
History in Chevy Chase Section Five is marked by a deliberate preservation of domestic architecture, reflecting a landscape that has evolved from farmland into a residential retreat for those seeking a reprieve from the density of the capital. The local economy is entirely professional, defined by the quiet industry of long-term residents rather than commerce or heavy production. Life here follows the rhythm of the seasons, from the damp, leaf-strewn paths of the Black Horse Trail in autumn to the sudden, bright emergence of spring color in the private gardens. Residents often look toward the expanse of the Dalecarlia Reservoir for a sense of open water, yet the character of the neighborhood remains defined by its terrestrial stability and the enduring, deliberate pace of its quiet, tree-lined avenues.

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.
