Explore Edgemere, 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 Edgemere, 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 Edgemere.
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.

Edgemere presents a rugged, maritime profile where the land meets the water in a quiet, deliberate fashion. It lies 3.9 miles east of Dundalk, MD (from Dundalk, MD: bearing 99°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-southeast of Baltimore. The landscape is defined by the steady presence of Back River, which winds its way through the terrain just one mile from the residential core. Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of Bacon Ridge on the horizon, a reminder of the higher ground that sits seventeen miles away. The local geography is shaped by the proximity of North Point Sp, which serves as a sprawling natural anchor for the area. On clear days, the atmosphere carries a salt-kissed dampness, suggesting the influence of the wider water systems situated six miles out at Baynes Cove. Even the light here seems to move with the tide, casting long, silvery reflections across the marshy reaches that define the periphery of Edgemere.
History in Edgemere remains tethered to the industrious spirit of the Chesapeake region, where the water once dictated the seasonal rhythm of labor. Early generations relied heavily on the bounty of the nearby waterways, establishing a local economy that bridged the gap between maritime tradition and the growing industrial needs of the nearby urban centers. While the landscape has evolved from its agrarian and maritime roots, the influence of the water remains a constant, subtle force in the daily work life of the neighborhood. The proximity to industrial corridors has allowed Edgemere to maintain a pragmatic, blue-collar identity that values endurance and steady effort. Modern commerce still feels the pulse of these original trades, with the legacy of the docks and the shoreline shaping how the local economy continues to function today. This endurance provides a sturdy foundation for the residents who keep the spirit of the region alive through their varied professional pursuits.
Cultural character in Edgemere is marked by a straightforward, unpretentious warmth that reflects the resilience of those who have long called this peninsula home. North Point Sp acts as the primary social and recreational landmark, drawing families and visitors who seek a reprieve from the bustle of the modern world. The community finds its rhythm in the changing seasons, often observing the migratory patterns of birds that frequent the edges of White Pond. While many quiet figures contribute to the local fabric, the area holds a modest pride in its connection to the broader history of the state. Pleasure Island stands as a singular point of interest, a reminder of the geographic variety that characterizes the local shoreline. Life in Edgemere moves with a deliberate pace, favoring the simple satisfaction of a well-tended garden or an afternoon spent watching the light shift across the water.

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.
