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 occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Potomac River bends through the landscape, carving a path that defines the local horizon. It lies 23.0 miles west-northwest of Halfway, MD (from Halfway, MD: bearing 285°T), and is situated 18.2 miles west-northwest of Falling Waters. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, drifting over the low-lying fields and rising toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that rim the western sky. Between the river’s edge and the deeper inland reaches, the topography shifts into the subtle, shadowed contours of Grasshopper Hollow. Fairview maintains a modest, steady equilibrium, punctuated by the sharp, clean geometry of Hancock Little League Park, where the grass is kept to a precise, emerald height. Not far from the main thoroughfares, the Hancock Sewage Lagoon sits as a utilitarian marker of the town’s infrastructure, reflecting the changing sky in a stillness that contrasts with the constant, fluid motion of the nearby riverbed.
Fairview traces its internal rhythm to the slow, deliberate work of an economy rooted in land and passage, far from the influence of any maritime breeze. The pace of daily life is measured by the steady transit of regional commerce and the seasonal shifts in the surrounding woodland, which turns a muted, dusty ochre when the autumn light grows thin. Throughout the decades, the settlement has maintained a character of sturdy self-reliance, with architecture that favors brick and simple, functional lines over ornament. Residents move through the day with a focused, quiet industry, finding a specific beauty in the way twilight pulls the color from the fields, leaving the earth in shades of slate and deep charcoal. In this corner of the state, the history of the region is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring, quiet persistence of a place that remains firmly fixed to the soil of its own making.

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.
