How to Use This Rossville, Maryland Map

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

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 Rossville, Maryland

Rossville is a locality in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of 16,029. The population density is 1150.6 people per km². Rossville is located at 39.3566°N, 76.4779°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 21237.

Rossville carries the quiet weight of a landscape shaped by the steady, persistent flow of Stemmers Run. It lies 2.0 miles north of Essex, MD (from Essex, MD: bearing 353°T), and is situated 7.8 miles east-northeast of Baltimore. This waterway serves as the lifeblood of the immediate terrain, carving a path through the earth that defines the local topography. Beyond these banks, the land stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Chestnut Ridge, which anchors the horizon seventeen miles away. Though the air often carries the salt-tinged humidity of the coast, the open expanse of Baynes Cove remains five miles removed from the daily bustle of the streets. The ground here possesses a subtle, ancient endurance, as if the soil itself holds the memory of a time before the paved roads and the sprawl of modern life.

History in Rossville reflects the industrious spirit of a region built upon the steady labor of its residents. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of manufacturing and trade, drawing strength from the proximity to regional transit arteries. While the once-dominant industrial sectors have shifted, the legacy of this work remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that defines the neighborhood. Residents often look toward the distant Limekiln Hollow, a reminder of the geological and economic history that shaped the development of the surrounding basin. Daily life moves with a pragmatic, unpretentious pace, focused on the maintenance of homes and the quiet continuity of the local workforce.

Cultural character in Rossville is defined by a sense of shared space and the simple utility of daily encounters. Gordon Ring Park serves as the primary gathering ground, offering a patch of green where the neighborhood observes the changing seasons. The proximity to Lake Montebello provides a rare stillness, a five-mile retreat where the water mirrors the shifting gray and blue of the Maryland sky. While the area does not claim the fame of distant capitals, it remains a place where the ordinary is held in high regard. The presence of Sue Island on the coastal fringe provides a point of reference for those who look toward the water, grounding the local identity in the geography of the Chesapeake fringe.

About This Rossville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rossville, Maryland. Coordinates: 39.356566, -76.477894. 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 Rossville includes the ZIP code (21237), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Baltimore County (Towson), and school district assignment (Baltimore County Public Schools).

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.
