How to Use This Midland, Maryland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Midland, 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 Midland.
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 codes: 21532, 21542.Midland occupies a rugged fold of the earth where the ground rises in steep, stubborn contours that define the character of the landscape. It lies 8.7 miles west-southwest of LaVale, MD (from LaVale, MD: bearing 239°T), and is situated 4.8 miles south-southwest of Frostburg. The Neff Run cuts a path through the terrain, its narrow channel acting as a constant companion to the streets that climb the slopes. Nearby, the Midland-Gilmore Reservoir holds a mirror to the sky, its quiet surface a departure from the restless movement of the creek. On the distant horizon, the Appalachian Mountains trace a jagged, hazy silhouette against the clouds, serving as a reminder of the vast, elevated reach of the region. Within the immediate vicinity, the Midland Area Park provides a modest clearing where the air feels sharper and carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone.
Midland emerged from the grit and ambition of the coal industry, a legacy that survives in the architectural echoes of its older homes and the layout of its winding lanes. The economy, once tethered to the extraction of resources buried deep beneath the shale, has shifted over the decades, leaving the inhabitants to navigate a quieter, more deliberate pace of life. Those seeking the solitude of the woods often look toward the Savage River State Forest, while the deeper topographical depressions like Cucumber Hollow retain a wild, untamed quality that resists modern encroachment. Life here is measured by the slow turn of the seasons, where the pale, thin light of winter afternoon settles over the rooftops, turning the slate and iron of the structures into shades of muted violet and charcoal.

About This Midland Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midland, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.590089, -78.949747. 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 Midland includes the ZIP code (21532, 21542), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Allegany County (Cumberland), and school district assignment (Allegany 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.
