How to Use This Grahamtown, Maryland Map

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

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 Grahamtown, Maryland

Grahamtown is a locality in Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is a small community with a population of 368. The population density is 928.7 people per km². Grahamtown is located at 39.6462°N, 78.9220°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 21532.

Grahamtown asserts its presence upon the rugged, upward-sloping terrain where the persistent Georges Creek carves a path through the earth. It lies 6.0 miles west of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 264°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west of Cumberland. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling as it drifts down from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that loom twenty-five miles to the west. To the east, the land folds into the deep, shadow-filled basin of Spruce Hollow, while the dense, timbered reaches of Forbes State Forest stand fourteen miles away, anchoring the horizon in a permanent, dark green hue. Within the immediate vicinity, Community Park (Frostburg) offers a quiet expanse of cleared ground, providing a sense of order against the wilder, unyielding character of the surrounding inland hills.

Industry and history have long defined the life of Grahamtown, where the extraction of mineral wealth once dictated the rhythm of daily labor and the layout of the streets. The town maintains a measured, industrious pace, far removed from the frantic energy of metropolitan centers, favoring the steady work of those who understand the temper of the soil and the currents of the local waterways. Water from the Midland-Gilmore Reservoir, situated five miles away, serves as a vital touchstone for the region, reflecting the gray, shifting light of the sky during the long autumn afternoons. Life in Grahamtown persists with a quiet dignity, grounded in the hard-won resilience of a population that has spent generations learning to thrive in the shadow of the mountains.

About This Grahamtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grahamtown, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.646198, -78.921968. 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 Grahamtown 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.
