Explore Clear Spring, 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 Clear Spring, 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 Clear Spring.
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.

Clear Spring occupies a limestone-rich basin where the air holds a singular, crisp clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding fields. It lies 9.5 miles west-northwest of Halfway, MD (from Halfway, MD: bearing 285°T), and is situated 7.0 miles north-northwest of Falling Waters. The waters of Toms Run carve a persistent path through the limestone bedrock, their movement a quiet pulse against the stillness of the terrain. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains frame the horizon, grounding the landscape in a vast, geologic permanence. Within the immediate vicinity, the greenery of Clear Spring offers a sanctuary of oak and maple, where the afternoon light filters through the canopy to dapple the forest floor in shifting shades of amber and gray.
History in Clear Spring remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of the agricultural life that has long defined these acres. While residents look toward the nearby serenity of Blairs Valley Lake for respite, the economy continues to draw its strength from the fertile soil and the rhythms of the seasons. Beyond the immediate town limits, the geography yields to the low, limestone-sheltered depressions of Polecat Hollow, a reminder of the ancient forces that shaped this interior land. Daily life moves with a deliberate, unadorned tempo, defined by the steady work of those who cultivate the earth and the quiet persistence of a place that values its own uncomplicated, inland character.

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.
