Explore Danville, 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 Danville, 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 Danville.
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.

Danville occupies a rugged stretch of land defined by the steep, shadowed contours of Dans Mountain Wma, which holds the settlement in a firm and ancient grip. It lies 12.1 miles south-southwest of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 211°T), and is situated 7.9 miles southwest of Cresaptown. The earth here is heavy with shale and coal, drained by the North Branch Potomac River, which carves a restless path through the nearby landscape only a mile away. To the west, the distant peaks of the Appalachian Mountains blur into the horizon, their jagged silhouettes softened by the atmospheric haze that clings to the hollows. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light loses its sharp edge, casting long, bruised purples across the slopes of Toms Hollow and turning the canopy of the distant Savage River State Forest into a sea of dark, impenetrable slate.
Danville emerged from the hard necessity of the earth, built upon the extraction of coal that once dictated the pulse of every household and the soot-stained rhythm of the local economy. Though the heavy industry that defined the early days has receded, the town retains a stubborn, quiet character, shaped by the isolation of the terrain and the persistent presence of the surrounding wild. Residents often look toward the Lonaconing Reservoir, four miles distant, as a place of reprieve, where the surface of the water reflects the sky with a mirror-like clarity that stands in contrast to the rugged, broken geology of the mines. Life in Danville moves with the measured pace of a place that understands its own boundaries, where the seasons dictate the work of the day and the enduring gravity of the hills maintains a steady, watchful presence over the lives of those who remain.

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.
