Explore Grantsville, 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 Grantsville, 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 Grantsville.
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.

Grantsville emerges from the high, plateaued landscape as a place defined by the steady, persistent pulse of the Casselman River. It lies 11.5 miles northeast of Garrett, MD (from Garrett, MD: bearing 40°T), and is situated 18.3 miles west of LaVale. The air here holds a thin, crystalline quality, especially when the light of late afternoon catches the surrounding fields, casting long shadows that stretch across the earth toward the distant, hazy outline of the Appalachian Mountains. To the east, the dense, quiet timber of Savage River State Forest acts as a dark sentinel, while the nearby expanse of Little Meadows provides a soft, open counterpoint to the rugged terrain. Travelers pausing at the Casselman River Bridge Sp find themselves standing upon a structure that has watched the seasons turn for generations, its stone arches framing the water as it moves with a deliberate, unhurried gravity through the valley floor.
Grantsville carries a history deeply rooted in the slow movement of people and goods across the frontier, a legacy that once transformed the region into a vital artery for early westward expansion. The local economy maintains a grounded connection to this past, balancing the demands of modern trade with a stubborn commitment to the craftsmanship and agricultural traditions that first anchored families to these hills. When the weather shifts, the proximity of Meadow Run Lake offers a reflective stillness, mirroring the gray-blue skies that often settle over the rooftops. Life here proceeds with the quiet confidence of a place that understands its own geography, far removed from the frantic pace of the coast, finding its particular beauty in the enduring strength of the masonry and the persistent, life-giving flow of the river.

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.
