Explore Prince Georges, 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 Georges, 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 Georges.
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 Georges defines a vast and complex expanse of Maryland, characterized by its position upon the rolling Piedmont plateau where the earth shifts between dense woodland and developed corridors. It lies 2.4 miles northeast of Friendly, MD (from Friendly, MD: bearing 35°T), and is situated 9.1 miles south-southeast of Washington. The landscape is marked by the modest, winding course of Hunters Mill Branch, which cuts through the soil only a mile from the center of activity, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains waits nearly a hundred miles to the west. On quiet afternoons, the light catches the surface of Clinton Regional Park Lake, three miles away, casting long, amber shadows across the open fields. Prince Georges remains firmly inland, defined by the terrestrial gravity of the mid-Atlantic interior rather than the influence of any distant water, with the verdant canopy of Cedarville State Forest providing a thirteen-mile buffer of deep, ancient timber to the south.
Colonial ambition first shaped the terrain of Prince Georges, as early settlers sought to tame the fertile clay and establish a foothold in the wilderness of the province. The land was organized into grand tracts, evolving from agrarian holdings into a vital transition point between the urban north and the agricultural south. Centuries of development have layered upon this foundation, turning what were once quiet tobacco fields and rural homesteads into a dense grid of residences and commerce. The history of Prince Georges persists in the architecture of older estates and the lingering layout of roads that follow the contours of the natural landscape, preserving a sense of the past beneath the modern overlay of infrastructure.
Economic vitality in Prince Georges flows through a diverse network of federal agencies, research institutions, and major retail centers that sustain a bustling professional population. The presence of the University of Maryland serves as a primary intellectual engine, anchoring the region with its expansive campus and influence on local innovation and workforce development. Infrastructure is prioritized to manage the heavy daily movement of commuters, with highways and transit lines slicing through the landscape to connect the residents of Prince Georges to the broader regional economy. The proximity of Hybla Valley, just nine miles away, further emphasizes the connectivity of this inland basin, where suburban growth meets the persistent requirements of a high-density, industrious society.
Cultural life in Prince Georges thrives through a deep engagement with both collegiate athletics and the arts, supported by venues that draw crowds from across the state. The spirit of the place is often measured by the intensity of the home games at the university, where the energy of the crowd reflects the diverse and ambitious character of the people. Residents often find recreation along the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway Terminus, a nine-mile journey that allows for a quiet retreat into nature, or within the local boundaries of Oaklawn Park. Though many notable figures have moved through these corridors, the identity of Prince Georges is primarily found in the everyday persistence of its families and the festivals that mark the turning of the seasons, as the air cools and the foliage in the nearby woodlands begins to change.

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.
