Explore Churchton, 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 Churchton, 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 Churchton.
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.

Churchton emerges from the low-slung, marshy edges of the tidewater, where the persistent pulse of Deep Cove Creek carves a winding path through the silt and heavy clay. It lies 9.2 miles south-southwest of Annapolis Neck, MD (from Annapolis Neck, MD: bearing 194°T), and is situated 9.7 miles south-southeast of Davidsonville. The air here holds the damp, salt-brined weight of the nearby Broadwater Creek, a constant reminder of the shifting tides that dictate the slow, respiration-like rhythm of the landscape. To the west, the horizon remains flat and expansive, far removed from the shadowed heights of Bacon Ridge, while the quiet waters of Flag Pond mirror the bruised, violet hues of a fading afternoon sky. Trees here lean toward the water, their roots gripping the dark, saturated earth as if anchoring themselves against the inexorable pull of the sea.
Churchton maintains a quiet, enduring presence, shaped by the legacy of those who once harvested the oyster beds and worked the timbered tracts that extend toward the distant silence of Cedarville State Forest. The local economy persists in a modest, pragmatic fashion, with small-scale maritime trades and the quiet stewardship of the land defining the daily labor of its inhabitants. Residents often gather near the open grounds of Churchton Park, a space that offers a pause in the steady, salt-air existence of the region. Life moves with a measured, reflective pace, unburdened by the clamor of inland centers, as the community remains tethered to the seasonal transformations of the marshlands and the subtle, shifting tides of the neighboring waterways.

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.
