How to Use This Chevy Chase Section Three, Maryland Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chevy Chase Section Three, 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 Three.

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.

Chevy Chase Section Three presents a landscape defined by the deliberate, quiet geometry of mature hardwoods and the persistent, low-slung presence of the Pinehurst Branch, which traces the contours of the land with a modest, persistent gravity. It lies 1.4 miles east of Bethesda, MD (from Bethesda, MD: bearing 95°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north-northwest of Washington. The topography here avoids the dramatic, favoring instead a gentle, deliberate incline that rises toward the distant, hazy suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains, visible only when the air is stripped of its summer humidity. Within the borders of Chevy Chase Section Three, the atmosphere is anchored by Gazebo Park, a singular, quiet clearing where the light at dusk catches the edges of the leaves, turning the canopy into a flickering mosaic of amber and deep, shadowed green. The nearby Black Horse Trail offers a passage through the undergrowth, allowing for a perspective on the land that remains largely undisturbed by the kinetic energy of the surrounding region, maintaining a stillness that feels intentional and preserved against the passage of time.

Developmental history in Chevy Chase Section Three is rooted in the early twentieth-century transition from agrarian plots to a planned residential enclave, a shift that prioritized the preservation of the existing woodland over dense, commercial expansion. The local economy is not one of extraction or industry, but rather a reflection of the professional corridors that define the broader landscape, tethered to the intellectual and governmental life of the nation’s capital. Residents often look toward the nearby Dalecarlia Reservoir, a body of water that acts as a silent, artificial anchor in the regional geography, while the proximity of Soapstone Valley and the rush of Little Falls provide a sense of wilder, unmanaged depth just beyond the immediate neighborhood boundaries. Life here functions as a steady, measured rhythm, where the architecture serves as a quiet record of domestic stability, and the inhabitants move through their days with a focus on the maintenance of a singular, private serenity that feels distinctly removed from the clamor of the wider world.
