Explore Klondike, 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 Klondike, 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 Klondike.
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.

Klondike emerges from the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, defined by the persistent, winding path of Woodland Creek. It lies 8.7 miles west-southwest of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 248°T), and is situated 3.8 miles south-southwest of Frostburg. The landscape here is characterized by steep, wooded slopes and deep, shadowed depressions, with the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains anchoring the horizon to the west. In the cooler hours of the morning, a fine mist often clings to the low-lying basins, softening the sharp edges of the limestone outcrops and the dense, deciduous canopy that dominates the surrounding wilderness. The air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, a reminder that the land remains largely untamed, save for the narrow tracks that cut through the thickets toward the nearby Spruce Hollow.
Klondike bears the quiet marks of an industrial heritage, built upon the extraction of coal that once funneled the vitality of the region into the furnaces of the nation. While the heavy machinery has long since fallen silent, the rhythm of daily life still echoes the persistence of those who carved a living from the earth, occasionally shifting toward the recreational trails of Midland Area Park or the still, dark waters of the Midland-Gilmore Reservoir. The economy has transitioned into a slower, more deliberate pace, leaving the residents to cultivate small gardens and maintain the modest structures that dot the hillsides. Life here is measured by the changing light that filters through the trees, casting long, amber shadows across the gravel roads as the sun dips behind the ridge, signaling an evening of stillness in a place that has learned to endure without fanfare.

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.
