Explore Marion, 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 Marion, 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 Marion.
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.

Marion emerges from the flat, moisture-heavy earth of the Eastern Shore, where the horizon remains wide and the light holds a pale, watery clarity. It lies 20.1 miles west-southwest of Worcester, MD (from Worcester, MD: bearing 246°T), and is situated 5.9 miles northeast of Crisfield. The landscape is defined by the slow, deliberate pulse of the Chesapeake Forest Lands, which stretch across the periphery and lend the air a scent of damp needles and decaying leaf mold. Nearby, the banks of Colbourn Creek carve a quiet path through the silt, its dark surface reflecting the shifting gray of the sky as it moves toward the distant, saline reaches of Horse Hammock Gut. To the west, the gentle, unforced presence of Rock Pond breaks the monotony of the fields, offering a still mirror to the migrating birds that find refuge in the tall, wind-thrashed grasses.
Marion preserves a quiet dignity inherited from generations who learned to read the tides and the turn of the seasons. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the land and the surrounding marsh, where the labor of the forest and the harvest of the soil have dictated the slow, methodical pace of the day. Life here is measured by the changing color of the loblolly pines and the quiet resilience of those who tend to the edges of the Chesapeake Forest Lands. Though Jackson Island sits in the distance as a silent sentry, the people of Marion remain anchored to the firm, black dirt, finding a steady, grounded comfort in the way the morning mist clings to the fields before the sun eventually burns it clean away.

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.
