Explore Suitland, 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 Suitland, 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 Suitland.
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.

Suitland occupies a space where the suburban sprawl of the mid-Atlantic yields to the persistent, quiet growth of woodland and meadow. It lies 2.2 miles east-northeast of Hillcrest Heights, MD (from Hillcrest Heights, MD: bearing 60°T), and is situated 6.8 miles east-southeast of Washington. The landscape around Suitland is defined by gentle, inland terrain that slopes toward the path of Oxon Run, a creek that winds its way through the local geography just a mile from the center. While the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains waits nearly a hundred miles to the west, the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the verdant canopy of Suitland Community Park. The light here at dusk possesses a singular quality, catching the leaves of hardwoods and casting long, amber shadows across the cooling pavement. Even in the height of summer, the air retains a grounded, earthy scent that speaks to the deep, silty soil of the region.
Suitland evolved from its early roots as a quiet farming settlement into a vital node for regional labor and federal activity. The local economy finds its footing in the steady pulse of government employment and service industries that support the nearby capital. Residents often look toward the history of the land, which has transitioned from agrarian fields to corridors of professional development and civil service. The rhythm of daily life follows the steady, predictable flow of commuters heading toward their offices, grounding the neighborhood in a persistent state of industriousness. While the pace is rarely frantic, there is a clear sense of purpose in the way Suitland manages its daily affairs, balancing the demands of modern employment with a localized pride in its own development.
Cultural character in Suitland is defined by the diversity of its residents and the shared landmarks that anchor the neighborhood identity. The Suitland Federal Center stands as a prominent feature, serving as a hub for significant national archives and research operations that draw professionals from across the country. Those seeking a connection to the natural world often spend their afternoons wandering the paths near the park, enjoying the quiet respite provided by the local flora. While the famous musician and actor Taraji P. Henson once walked these streets during her formative years, the spirit of the place remains firmly rooted in the lives of its contemporary citizens. Community events and seasonal gatherings foster a sense of connection, turning impersonal suburban streets into a recognizable, lived-in home for thousands.

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.
