Explore Swan Point, 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 Swan Point, 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 Swan Point.
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.

Swan Point emerges from the verdant, humped terrain of the interior, where the land holds its breath under the weight of heavy, humid afternoons. It lies 7.8 miles south-southwest of Wicomico, MD (from Wicomico, MD: bearing 197°T), and is situated 4.3 miles northeast of Colonial Beach. The horizon remains unbroken by the jagged teeth of distant peaks, though the faint, hazy suggestion of Pea Ridge marks the western limit of the sky. Weir Creek carves a slow, muddy path through the undergrowth only a mile away, its banks thick with tangled brush and the insistent drone of cicadas. In the quiet hours before dusk, the golden light catches the fine silt of the soil, turning the furrows of local fields into corridors of burnished copper. Beyond the immediate thickets, the terrain flattens into the expansive, silent reaches of Tetotum Flats, a basin where the air hangs heavy and still, undisturbed by the cooling influence of any distant coastline.
Swan Point retains the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of the soil, where the economy remains tethered to the slow growth of timber and the seasonal yield of the fields. Residents find a respite in the shaded trails of Southern Park, a space that preserves the wilder, unmanicured character of the region. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a pendulum, shaped by the cycles of planting and the maintenance of homesteads that have occupied these acres for generations. A few miles further, the waters of Hideaway Pond offer a glassy, reflective stillness that mirrors the surrounding hardwoods, providing a solitary point of clarity amidst the dense, sprawling woodland. This geography dictates a life of isolation and steady endurance, far removed from the clamor of dense urban centers, grounded instead in the rhythmic, predictable pulse of the earth itself.

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.
