How to Use This College Park, Maryland Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for College Park, 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 College Park.

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.

College Park emerges from the landscape as a convergence of academic intensity and the quiet, persistent pulse of Maryland’s mid-Atlantic terrain. It lies 1.5 miles north-northwest of East Riverdale, MD (from East Riverdale, MD: bearing 328°T), and is situated 8.0 miles northeast of Washington. The local topography remains defined by the gentle, rolling contours that lead toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, visible only as a faint, blue-gray haze on the western horizon. Residents often find solace in the stillness of Lake Artemesia, where the water mirrors the shifting light of the afternoon sky. The nearby Paint Branch flows with a steady, deliberate rhythm, cutting through the woodland and providing a natural corridor for the local wildlife. Even though the region feels sheltered by its inland position, the air carries a subtle, saline memory of the Navy Yard Channel, reminding one that the open coastline is less than twenty-five miles away.

College Park traces its historical development to the expansion of regional rail and the subsequent establishment of a major land-grant university, which continues to anchor the local economy today. The professional landscape is shaped by a fusion of research-driven industries and a bustling service sector that caters to a transient, intellectual population. Small businesses and technology corridors thrive alongside the historic infrastructure, creating a workspace that values both innovation and traditional brick-and-mortar stability. The proximity to Soapstone Valley influences the way the land was originally surveyed and utilized for early settlement. Economic life here is less about heavy manufacturing and more about the exchange of ideas, data, and the specialized services required to sustain a modern academic center.

Cultural life in College Park revolves around the spirited atmosphere of the University of Maryland, where the calendar is dictated by the academic year and the fervor of college athletics. The community finds common ground at the University Park Town Park, a green space that serves as a quiet refuge for students and families alike. Local lore often recalls the early days of aviation, as the city remains home to the world’s oldest continuously operating airport, a landmark that once hosted pioneers like Wilbur Wright. Notable figures such as Jim Henson once walked these streets, their creative legacies still lingering in the town’s artistic sensibilities. Whether exploring the paths near the White Horse Trail or gathering for seasonal public events, residents maintain a character that is simultaneously grounded in suburban practicality and elevated by a constant, scholarly curiosity.
