Explore Pittsville, 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 Pittsville, 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 Pittsville.
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.

Pittsville anchors the flat, fertile expanse of the Eastern Shore, where the horizon stretches thin and wide beneath a sky that often holds the bruised color of a coming storm. It lies 10.4 miles east-northeast of Salisbury, MD (from Salisbury, MD: bearing 77°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-southeast of Delmar. The Aydelotte Branch snakes through the low-lying terrain, its dark, sluggish waters defining the drainage of the fields that fan out toward the horizon. Beyond the immediate grid of the village, the landscape yields to the dense, quiet timber of the Chesapeake Forest Lands, where the air grows heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth. To the west, the distant silhouette of Terrapin Hill provides the only vertical interruption in a vista otherwise defined by the slow, horizontal layering of marsh grass and fallow rows. Even at a remove of fourteen miles from the salt-heavy air of Assawoman Bay, the atmosphere retains a moisture that clings to the skin, softening the sharp edges of the afternoon light into a hazy, pale gold.
Pittsville bears the mark of an agricultural heritage that remains etched into the rhythm of daily labor, a legacy of colonial-era land grants that favored the cultivation of corn and soybeans. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the soil, though the encroaching influence of modern transit routes has begun to pull the pace of life into a faster, more insistent gear. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the proximity of the Chesapeake Forest Lands, a vast buffer that preserves the quietude of the surroundings while offering a glimpse of the wilder, wooded character of the region. Life in Pittsville moves with a deliberate, unadorned simplicity, marked by the occasional transit of heavy machinery and the seasonal cycle of harvest, which dictates the ebb and flow of the village’s collective mood. It is a place where the history of the Chesapeake landscape is not merely remembered, but practiced in the persistent, patient work of those who remain rooted to the land.

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.
