How to Use This Croom, Maryland Map

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

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 Croom, Maryland

Croom is a locality in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,720. The population density is 30.7 people per km². Croom is located at 38.7398°N, 76.7552°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 20772, 20613.

Croom occupies a quiet expanse of Maryland where the earth yields to the steady, meandering course of Old House Creek. It lies 2.0 miles southeast of Marlton, MD (from Marlton, MD: bearing 136°T), and is situated 7.3 miles east of Clinton. The landscape here favors the patient observer, defined by low-lying fields and dense thickets that soften the horizon long before the distant rise of Bacon Ridge might catch the eye on a clear day. Only a mile away, the dark, still waters of Pence Pond mirror the changing seasons, providing a sanctuary for the local fauna that drift between the water’s edge and the surrounding woods. The air holds a particular weight in the late afternoon, a cool, earthen stillness that seems to slow the pulse of the day as shadows lengthen across the soil.

Croom retains the quiet gravity of a place where colonial roots have long since settled into the clay and loam. While the proximity of Croom Nrma serves as a reminder of the region’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage, the local economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the land. The legacy of agrarian life persists in the way the fences divide the pastures and the way the light catches the weathered siding of older structures that have stood through generations of change. Residents look toward the nearby Cedarville State Forest as a vast, green anchor for the landscape, while those seeking the quiet of a path often find their way toward the Magnolia Trail. It is a place that does not clamor for attention, preferring instead to exist in the steady, unassuming persistence of the seasons.

About This Croom Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Croom, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.739799, -76.755192. 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 Croom includes the ZIP code (20772, 20613), telephone area code (301, 240), county seat of Prince George's County (Upper Marlboro), and school district assignment (Prince George's County Public Schools).

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.
