Explore Leonardtown, 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 Leonardtown, 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 Leonardtown.
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.

Leonardtown occupies a quiet expanse of inland terrain where the Town Run carves a modest, persistent path through the earth, marking the pulse of the landscape. It lies 5.1 miles southwest of Hollywood, MD (from Hollywood, MD: bearing 223°T), and is situated 7.0 miles west of California. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the dense woodlands and stretches across the flat, fertile ground that defines the interior of the region. Five miles distant, the waters of Saint Marys Lake sit undisturbed, reflecting the canopy of oaks and pines that dominate the horizon, while the distant, jagged silhouette of Pea Ridge offers a faint, pale reminder of the rugged geological shifts far to the west. Within the immediate vicinity, Unknown Park provides a sanctuary of wild growth, where the underbrush and timber remain largely untouched, grounding Leonardtown in a landscape that feels ancient and indifferent to the hurried pace of the modern world.
History remains embedded in the architecture of Leonardtown, where colonial foundations persist beneath layers of subsequent growth and the evolving demands of an economy rooted in agriculture and local commerce. The town serves as a center for those who work the inland soil, maintaining a character shaped by generations who have recognized the value of the surrounding plains and the subtle drainage patterns of the local creek beds. Far removed from the distant basins like Carthagena Flats, the community functions with a deliberate, measured gravity, its streets lined with brick and frame structures that have witnessed the slow transition of the seasons over centuries. Life here unfolds with a focus on the immediate, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the shifting quality of the afternoon light against the storefronts and the quiet, steady movement of the Town Run as it persists in its journey toward the interior lowlands.

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.
