How to Use This Denton, Maryland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Denton, 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 Denton.
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.

Denton is located at 38.8846°N, 75.8272°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Denton is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 21629.Denton rests upon a flat, fertile expanse where the horizon stretches wide across the horizon, defined primarily by the slow, deliberate movement of Saulsbury Creek as it winds through the landscape. It lies 2.3 miles southeast of Caroline, MD (from Caroline, MD: bearing 142°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south of Greensboro. The atmosphere here is thick with the scent of damp earth and seasonal harvest, especially during the humid afternoons when the sun casts a long, amber glow over the fields. Beyond the immediate center, the terrain offers a quiet transition toward the distant, rolling silhouettes that mark the approach to Opossum Hill, standing seven miles away as a silent sentinel over the plains. Residents find a respite from the open fields at Causey Park, a space that serves as the local anchor for outdoor gatherings and the simple observation of the changing seasons.
Denton maintains a steady, industrious pace rooted in a history of agriculture and the quiet commerce of the regional inland economy. The architectural character of the main thoroughfare reflects decades of careful stewardship, where brick facades and sturdy, unadorned storefronts suggest a preference for function and endurance over fleeting trends. Life in Denton remains tethered to the cycles of the land, with the local economy shifting rhythmically with the planting and reaping of the surrounding acreage. There is an authentic weight to the afternoons here, a stillness that settles over the streets as the shadows lengthen, reminding those who walk them that the town operates on a timeline dictated by the soil and the sky rather than the frantic pace of larger, more congested districts.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Denton, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.884558, -75.827156. 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 Denton includes the ZIP code (21629), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Caroline County (Denton), and school district assignment (Caroline 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.
