How to Use This Fairview, Maryland Map

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

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 Fairview, Maryland

Fairview is a locality in Harford County, Maryland, United States. It is a small community with a population of 76. The population density is 139.7 people per km². Fairview is located at 39.7111°N, 77.8406°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 21750, 21122, 20866.

Fairview emerges from the quiet, inland landscape where the South Stirrup Run carves a modest path through the earth, marking the land with its persistent, winding presence. It lies 1.8 miles west of Forest Hill, MD (from Forest Hill, MD: bearing 261°T), and is situated 3.1 miles west of Harford. The horizon is defined by the steady, earthen bulk of Rock Ridge, which stands four miles distant, casting a long, cooling shadow over the fields as the afternoon sun begins to wane. Two miles to the north, the waters of Bel Air Reservoir gather in a still, reflective pool, holding the pale, gray light of the sky against the surrounding meadows. The air here carries a dry, crisp weight, untethered by the moisture of the distant coast, and the soil feels firm underfoot, composed of the dense clay and silt that have long dictated the rhythm of the local seasons.

Fairview maintains a pace dictated by the legacy of its agrarian roots, where the labor of the soil once demanded a quiet, methodical endurance from those who settled here. While the local economy has shifted away from the intensive tilling of the early years, the land remains the primary architect of daily life, with residents often gathering at the Forest Hill Recreation Comples to mark the passage of the week. History lingers in the architecture of the older dwellings and the way the light catches the gables at dusk, suggesting a continuity that resists the restless movement of the modern world. Nearby, the water at Kilgores Rocks falls with a rhythmic persistence that has echoed through the woods for generations, serving as a reminder of the raw, unhurried forces that continue to shape the character of Fairview.

About This Fairview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairview, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.711079, -77.840616. 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 Fairview includes the ZIP code (21750, 21122, 20866), telephone area code (301, 240, 410, 443), county seat of Harford County (Bel Air), and school district assignment (Washington 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.
