Explore Havre de Grace, 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 Havre de Grace, 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 Havre de Grace.
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.

Havre de Grace anchors the confluence where the Susquehanna River meets the horizon, serving as a gateway to the northern reaches of the bay. It lies 4.7 miles northeast of Aberdeen, MD (from Aberdeen, MD: bearing 55°T), and is situated 7.9 miles west-southwest of Cecil. The landscape slopes toward the water, where the salt-tinged air carries the weight of the tides and the rhythmic movement of the harbor. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Furnace Bay mirror the shifting colors of the sky at dusk, while Park Island sits low against the current. Those who travel inland toward the horizon might glimpse the distant silhouettes of Rock Ridge, though the immediate terrain remains defined by the river’s steady, southward pull. The light here has a way of catching the water in late afternoon, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered silver that feels both ancient and fleeting.
Havre de Grace preserves a spirit forged by its early reliance on the shipping lanes and the industrial energy of the riverside. The local economy transitioned from the movement of goods along the water to a focus on maritime heritage and the quiet commerce of the storefronts lining the streets. While the heavy industry of the past has receded, the town retains a sense of purpose tied to the ebb and flow of the seasons. Visitors often explore the quiet paths of Frank Hutchins Memorial Park, where the connection between the land and the water remains palpable. The legacy of the area is not found in grand monuments, but in the brickwork and the sturdy architecture that has weathered the damp, coastal climate for generations. It is a place where the work of the day feels tethered to the natural cycle of the tide.
Havre de Grace fosters a character defined by its maritime identity and a measured, deliberate pace of life. Cultural life often centers on the lighthouse and the promenade, where the view extends across the water toward the distant, rolling landscape. The town has hosted notable figures such as Cal Ripken Jr., whose presence is still felt in the local appreciation for discipline and public service. Community gatherings often take place near the water, reflecting a deep-seated pride in the geography that shapes daily existence. Residents recognize the value of the surrounding natural spaces, from the solitude of Stoney Forest Demonstration Area to the distant, rushing sound of Amos Falls. In the quiet hours of the morning, the atmosphere is heavy with the scent of water and earth, a reminder of the proximity to the wild, untamed edges of the region.

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.
