How to Use This Henderson, Maryland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Henderson, 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 Henderson.
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.

ZIP code: 21640.Henderson anchors itself firmly within the flat, fertile plains of the Eastern Shore, where the horizon stretches wide under an expansive and unencumbered sky. It lies 12.2 miles north-northeast of Caroline, MD (from Caroline, MD: bearing 22°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northeast of Greensboro. The landscape around Henderson is defined by the steady, deliberate movement of Tidy Island Creek, which winds through the verdant lowlands, while the quiet surface of Mud Millpond reflects the shifting hues of the afternoon sun. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Cabin Ridge serves as a faint reminder of the rugged terrain far beyond these level fields. Nearby, the protected acreage of Jackson Lane / Eaton'S Pond Preserve offers a sanctuary of wild grasses and thickets, providing a stark, untamed contrast to the orderly grid of the surrounding agricultural plots that dominate the view.
Henderson carries the quiet weight of a place built upon the patient labor of the soil, where the economy has long been tethered to the cycles of harvest and seasonal growth. The legacy of the land is visible in the architecture of the older dwellings and the sturdy, unpretentious character of the local buildings that have weathered decades of temperate, humid summers and crisp, biting winters. While the pace of life remains slow and deliberate, there is a persistent vitality in the way the morning light catches the dust motes in a grain silo or the way the evening air settles coolly over the fields. Though Blackbird State Forest lies some distance away, the spirit of the region remains rooted in this immediate, working landscape, where the history of the people is written in the furrows of the earth and the enduring stillness of the inland plains.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Henderson, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.07428, -75.766043. 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 Henderson includes the ZIP code (21640), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Caroline County (Denton), and school district assignment (Caroline 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.
