Explore Fairview, 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 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.

Fairview emerges from the low-lying coastal plain where the persistent, tea-colored currents of Rock Creek carve a soft, winding path toward the distant salt air. It lies 1.1 miles southeast of Riviera Beach, MD (from Riviera Beach, MD: bearing 143°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east of Glen Burnie. The landscape remains defined by the brackish reach of the tides, which pull at the marsh grass and mirror the shifting, bruised purples of a Maryland sunset. At the center of the terrain, Yates Pond holds a glassy stillness, its surface a dark slate that captures the flight of herons rising toward the horizon. Beyond the immediate tree line, the muted silhouette of Bacon Ridge provides a distant, hazy anchor to the western sky, while the nearby White Rocks remain a solitary, jagged presence in the water, marking the transition from the firm earth of Fairview to the fluid, gray expanse of Seclude Cove just a few miles beyond.
Fairview maintains a quiet tether to its colonial roots, where the economy has long drawn sustenance from the fertile, damp soil and the seasonal rhythms of the water. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, evidenced by the humble, unadorned architecture that lines the narrow roads leading toward the Harry And Jeanette Weinberg Park. This protected space serves as a sanctuary for the local flora, preserving a wild, uncultivated character that resists the encroaching pace of the modern world. While the surrounding region remembers the labor of those who worked the docks and the fields, the current atmosphere remains one of enduring, quiet industry, where the scent of damp earth and incoming salt spray marks the passage of each day.

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.
