How to Use This Conowingo, Maryland Map

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

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.

About Conowingo, Maryland

Conowingo is a locality in Cecil County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Conowingo is located at 39.6779°N, 76.1591°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 21918.

Conowingo occupies a rugged stretch of land where the earth rises in firm, shaded embankments above the churning water. It lies 9.5 miles west of Calvert, MD (from Calvert, MD: bearing 261°T), and is situated 9.6 miles north-northwest of Havre de Grace. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of William Penn State Forest, casting elongated, amber-hued shadows across the forest floor where the air remains cool and heavy with the scent of damp loam. To the west, the distant silhouette of Rock Ridge anchors the horizon, a faint charcoal smudge against the pale sky. Nearby, the water of Octoraro Creek carves a path through the quiet basin of Sleepy Hollow, while the localized roar of Amos Falls provides a constant, rhythmic percussion that vibrates through the bedrock. Just a few miles away, the stillness of Octoraro Lakes offers a glassy contrast to the kinetic energy of the surrounding terrain, and those who walk the Mason-Dixon Trail find themselves traversing a landscape that feels both ancient and steadfastly indifferent to the passage of time.

Conowingo remains defined by the immense weight of its industrial utility and the quiet, persistent labor that shapes its daily existence. The local economy has long been tethered to the harnessing of natural forces, a legacy that distinguishes the character of Conowingo from the pastoral quietude of its neighbors. Residents move with a deliberate pace, their lives dictated by the intersection of regional infrastructure and the sprawling, untamed greenery of Susquehanna State Park, which serves as a sanctuary for those seeking the solitude of the woods. The historical weight of the region is felt in the transition from the heavy, masonry-focused work of the early twentieth century to the present-day quiet of the surrounding hills. It is a place where the infrastructure of power generation creates a singular, modern silhouette, yet the surrounding land resists total domestication, maintaining a stoic, rural integrity that favors the patient observer.

About This Conowingo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Conowingo, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.677886, -76.159119. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Conowingo includes the ZIP code (21918), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Cecil County (Elkton), and school district assignment.

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.
