How to Use This Gilmore, Maryland Map

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

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 Gilmore, Maryland

Gilmore is a locality in Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is a small community with a population of 132. The population density is 490.1 people per km². Gilmore is located at 39.5829°N, 78.9500°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 21532.

Gilmore occupies a rugged stretch of terrain where the landscape is defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Elklick Run as it carves through the earth. It lies 9.0 miles southwest of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 236°T), and is situated 5.3 miles south-southwest of Frostburg. The surrounding topography is marked by steep inclines and deep, shadowed depressions like Cucumber Hollow, creating a terrain that feels perpetually inclined toward the horizon. At dusk, the light here thins into a pale, bruised violet, catching the jagged edges of the higher ground while the Midland-Gilmore Reservoir sits as a still, dark mirror reflecting the overarching sky. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a hazy, blue-gray silhouette against the western edge of the world, the immediate vicinity remains anchored by the quiet, functional presence of the Midland Area Park, a green space that serves as a communal pause in the otherwise relentless verticality of the land.

Gilmore persists as a quiet witness to a regional economy once deeply tethered to the extraction of coal, a heritage that lingers in the weathered geometry of the older buildings and the stubborn, industrious spirit of the inhabitants. The legacy of these underground labors has left the soil rich with the memory of industry, shaping the way the community organizes itself around the narrow, winding veins of the local roads. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its own isolation, far from the frantic energy of the lowlands, and closer to the dense, silent interior of the Savage River State Forest. In this corner of the state, the air carries a crisp, mineral edge, and the daily rhythm is dictated not by the clock, but by the subtle shifts in the weather moving across the ridgelines and the seasonal turning of the woods.

About This Gilmore Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gilmore, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.582867, -78.950025. 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 Gilmore includes the ZIP code (21532), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Allegany County (Cumberland), and school district assignment (Allegany 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.
