Explore Georgetown, 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 Georgetown, 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 Georgetown.
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.

Georgetown commands the flat, salt-misted horizon where the steady pulse of Fairlee Creek carves a path through the low-lying fields. It lies 4.8 miles southwest of Kent, MD (from Kent, MD: bearing 225°T), and is situated 6.9 miles west of Chestertown. The air here carries the damp weight of the tide, drifting inland from the distant expanse of Baynes Cove to settle over the brackish marshes and tall, swaying reeds. Beyond the immediate banks, the land stretches into broad, quiet expanses of farmland, broken only by the shimmering surface of Mendinhall Lake, which mirrors the pale, expansive sky. On the far western horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Bacon Ridge provides a jagged contrast to the otherwise level topography, grounding the vista in a permanence that feels ancient and undisturbed.
Georgetown retains the quiet, weathered character of a place that has long measured its days by the seasonal labor of the soil and the water. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of these rural traditions, where the proximity to the county’s agricultural roots finds expression in the gatherings at the nearby 4-H Park/County Fairgrounds. Life moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, occasionally punctuated by the distant sight of Pooles Island rising from the water like a dark, solitary sentinel. History in Georgetown is not found in grand monuments, but in the persistent, honest toil of those who work the land and the way the light catches the graying wood of aging barns as the day fades into the quiet, starlit silence of the Eastern Shore.

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.
