How to Use This Sherwood Forest, Maryland Map

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

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 Sherwood Forest, Maryland

Sherwood Forest is a locality in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 5,200. The population density is 480.0 people per km². Sherwood Forest is located at 38.3676°N, 75.1505°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 20904, 21771, 21811.

Sherwood Forest defines its edges through the steady, quiet movement of the Arthurs Run as it flows past the landscape. It lies 2.2 miles west of Arnold, MD (from Arnold, MD: bearing 262°T), and is situated 5.2 miles north of Anne Arundel. The land here sits low and patient, marked by the stillness of Hidden Pond, which serves as a center point for the local ecology. To the west, the silhouettes of Bacon Ridge rise against the evening sky, providing a stark boundary to the horizon. Beyond the immediate terrain, the North Basin holds the moisture of the air, ensuring that the soil remains dark and fertile. Saint Helena Island rests a short distance away, casting a long shadow over the waters that eventually drain toward the distant Seclude Cove.

Sherwood Forest maintains a history deeply connected to the transformation of the surrounding woodland into a residential retreat. Early settlers recognized the value of the timber and the proximity to the water, which fostered a local economy rooted in careful stewardship of the land. Today, the industry remains modest and focused on supporting the needs of those who live in the quiet corridors of the neighborhood. While the pace of trade is measured, it relies on the consistent maintenance of the infrastructure that allows for a steady, private way of life. The legacy of these small-scale endeavors persists in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried maintenance of the common grounds.

Sherwood Forest preserves a distinct cultural character that prioritizes the privacy of its residents and the preservation of its natural surrounds. The Brewers Pond Natural Area functions as a vital anchor for the community, offering a space where the rhythm of the seasons remains the primary clock. Walking paths allow residents to observe the changing light as it reflects off the surface of local ponds, creating a sense of permanence in a rapidly shifting world. While the locality is known for its serene atmosphere rather than grand public spectacles, it hosts private gatherings that reinforce a tight-knit social fabric. No singular figure of national fame claims this specific soil as a birthplace, as the culture here favors the collective peace of the forest over the noise of individual celebrity.

About This Sherwood Forest Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sherwood Forest, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.367614, -75.150464. 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 Sherwood Forest includes the ZIP code (20904, 21771, 21811), telephone area code (410, 443), county seat of Anne Arundel County (Annapolis), and school district assignment.

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.
