How to Use This Detmold, Maryland Map

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

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 Detmold, Maryland

Detmold is a locality in Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is a small community with a population of 66. The population density is 163.4 people per km². Detmold is located at 39.5543°N, 78.9895°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 21539.

Detmold occupies a rugged intersection of the Maryland landscape where the earth rises in broken, stubborn folds toward the distant Appalachian Mountains. It lies 11.8 miles southwest of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 234°T), and is situated 7.9 miles south-southwest of Frostburg. Georges Creek carves a narrow, determined path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the muted, slate-gray sky that often settles over the valley floor. To the west, the deep, shadowed creases of Cucumber Hollow offer a sanctuary of thick undergrowth and cooling mist, while the nearby Lonaconing Reservoir holds a stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of the wind traversing the ridges. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it clarifies, sharpening the silhouette of the trees against the slopes and turning the dust of the local earth into a fine, pale powder that clings to the boots of anyone walking the perimeter of Railroad Park.

Detmold carries the weight of a history rooted in the extraction of coal and the relentless labor of the rail lines that once dictated its heartbeat. The economy, once tethered entirely to the rhythm of the mines, has since softened into a quieter existence, though the legacy of that industry remains in the weathered brick of the older structures and the purposeful, unadorned architecture that defines the streetscape. Life in Detmold moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has seen its primary industry retreat, leaving behind a community that watches the seasonal shifts in the canopy of the distant Savage River State Forest with a practiced, observant eye. On autumn evenings, the air carries a sharp, metallic crispness, signaling the transition of a landscape that remains indifferent to the passing of decades, holding firm to its identity as a corridor of transit and toil.

About This Detmold Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Detmold, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.554257, -78.989471. 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 Detmold includes the ZIP code (21539), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Allegany County (Cumberland), and school district assignment (Allegany 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.
