Explore St. George Island, 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 St. George Island, 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 St. George Island.
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.

St. George Island persists as a quiet expanse of inland terrain defined by the slow, deliberate work of the Saint Marys River as it carves through the local clay and silt. It lies 6.6 miles west of Saint Marys, MD (from Saint Marys, MD: bearing 279°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south of Great Mills. The landscape here is characterized by broad, level stretches of woodland and cleared fields that hold the heat of the afternoon sun well into the cooling dusk. Two miles to the north, the surface of Cherryfield Pond remains undisturbed, reflecting the dense canopy of hardwoods that frame its banks in shades of deep, somber green. In the distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of Pea Ridge anchors the horizon, providing a permanent, shadowed boundary to a vista that otherwise favors the low-slung, horizontal lines of the regional plains.
History lingers in the soil of St. George Island, where the remnants of early agricultural cycles still shape the rhythm of the modern day. The economy remains tethered to the land and the quiet stewardship of the nearby Carthagena Flats, a basin that absorbs the seasonal rains and sustains the surrounding thickets. Residents often look toward the Piney Point Lighthouse Park for a sense of orientation, finding in its presence a structural anchor amidst the wide, open spaces. Life moves with the unhurried pace of a place that has long prioritized the harvest and the changing light over the frantic speed of the modern world, maintaining a distinct, rural character that resists the encroaching sprawl of the urban centers to the north.

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.
