Explore Prince Frederick, 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 Prince Frederick, 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 Prince Frederick.
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.

Prince Frederick reveals itself through a landscape of quiet, undulating terrain that rises steadily away from the low-lying basin of Mill Creek. It lies 13.5 miles north of Hollywood, MD (from Hollywood, MD: bearing 357°T), and is situated 6.2 miles northwest of Saint Leonard. This waterway carves a path through the earth, its presence marked by the thick, verdant growth of deciduous trees that thrive in the damp, shaded soil of the lowlands. Far to the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Edgars Ridge provides a permanent boundary to the horizon, grounding the view in a perspective that feels both expansive and contained. The air here holds a particular clarity in the transition between afternoon and evening, when the sunlight loses its sharp intensity and casts a soft, amber glow across the fields and the modest, brick-faced architecture of the main thoroughfare.
Prince Frederick serves as a vital administrative hub, its character defined by a long-standing continuity of government and commerce that anchors the surrounding Calvert County. The rhythm of daily life is shaped by the steady movement of residents navigating the intersection of traditional service-based work and a modern, professional economy that has grown alongside the expansion of local offices and institutions. At the center of the civic landscape, King Memorial Park & Phillips House offers a quiet space for reflection, maintaining a tangible link to the past through preserved structures that stand in contrast to the nearby, more contemporary developments. While the dense, sprawling greenery of Cedarville State Forest remains thirteen miles to the northwest, the immediate surroundings of Prince Frederick retain a sense of open, deliberate space, where the pace of the afternoon is measured not by the urgency of the clock, but by the slow, consistent drift of shadows across the pavement.

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.
