How to Use This Nanjemoy, Maryland Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Nanjemoy, 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 Nanjemoy.

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.

About Nanjemoy, Maryland

Nanjemoy is a locality in Charles County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Nanjemoy is located at 38.4548°N, 77.2169°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 20662.

Nanjemoy unfolds across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Hancock Run as it carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 7.7 miles southwest of Charles, MD (from Charles, MD: bearing 233°T), and is situated 8.4 miles south-southeast of Cherry Hill. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, particularly in the humid afternoons when the sunlight filters through the canopy of the Nanjemoy Creek Preserve. Five miles away, the expanse of the Doncaster State Forest anchors the horizon, offering a deep, shadowed contrast to the open fields that define the immediate surroundings. Those who wander further afield may find their way to the Burnt Pine Trail, where the earth underfoot is rich and dark, holding the memory of long, slow seasons. Though the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains exist only as a faint, jagged suggestion far to the west, the local topography remains grounded in the steady, unassuming geometry of inland plains and sudden, wooded depressions.

Nanjemoy carries the weight of a long agricultural legacy, where the soil has been turned for generations to sustain a life tied to the rhythm of the harvest. The local economy remains tethered to this tradition, favoring a deliberate, modest pace that resists the encroachment of modern haste. While the surface of Jones Pond, seven miles removed, remains a glassy mirror for the changing seasons, the character of the people is shaped by the practical demands of forest management and small-scale cultivation. Landmarks here are not grand monuments, but rather the enduring lines of fence rows and the quiet intersections of rural roads that have served the inhabitants for centuries. Life in Nanjemoy proceeds with a quiet clarity, defined by the sound of the wind moving through the timber and the predictable, seasonal shift of light across the fallow ground.

About This Nanjemoy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nanjemoy, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.454845, -77.216924. 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 Nanjemoy includes the ZIP code (20662), telephone area code (301, 240), county seat of Charles County (La Plata), and school district assignment.

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.
