Explore Oakland, 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 Oakland, 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 Oakland.
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.

Oakland reveals itself through the steady, insistent murmur of Deep Cove Creek as it winds through the low, soft landscape toward the nearby tidal currents. It lies 8.5 miles south-southwest of Annapolis Neck, MD (from Annapolis Neck, MD: bearing 197°T), and is situated 9.6 miles south of Anne Arundel. Salt-tinged air drifts inland from the coast, lingering over the marshy edges where the tide pulls at the land near Normans Creek, creating a horizon defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of Bacon Ridge. The light here settles into a pale, bruised violet at dusk, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the quiet waters of Flag Pond. Visitors finding their way to Churchton Park notice how the ground feels heavy with dampness, a reminder that the sea is never truly far from the pulse of the soil.
Oakland bears the weight of deep, quiet labor, its character shaped by the cyclical rhythms of the water and the persistent growth of the surrounding woodland. The economy clings to the edges of the marsh and the modest, utilitarian needs of those who work the land, far removed from the clamor of larger, more frantic centers. History clings to the frame houses and weathered structures that have stood through generations of changing tides, standing as silent witnesses to the quiet commerce of the region. Life in Oakland moves with the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary distinction is found in the stillness of the early morning and the way the fog clings to the low-lying reaches of Beech Hollow before the sun fully ascends.

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.
