Explore Tall Timbers, 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 Tall Timbers, 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 Tall Timbers.
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.

Tall Timbers marks the confluence of quiet earth and the persistent, wandering Gumbottom Branch, which carves a silty path through the landscape before disappearing toward the horizon. It lies 2.3 miles east-southeast of Millersville, MD (from Millersville, MD: bearing 109°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northwest of Anne Arundel. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises toward the slopes of Bacon Ridge, where the soil holds the damp, heavy scent of leaf mold and encroaching shadow. Arden Pond rests two miles distant, its surface a dark glass reflecting the gray, shifting clouds that frequent this coastal plain. The air here carries a salt-brine heaviness, a reminder that the tides of Seclude Cove lie only five miles away, pulling at the damp ground and softening the edges of the woods. Within the boundaries of Crownsville Park, the wild grasses sway in a rhythmic, unbidden dance, catching the low light that filters through the canopy in thin, pale shafts.
Tall Timbers maintains a legacy rooted in the slow, seasonal pulse of the Chesapeake country, where the economy has long favored the patient harvest of the water and the sturdy cultivation of the land. History lingers in the local architecture, an echo of colonial foundations that favored brick and timber, standing firm against the humid summers and the biting winds that sweep in from Saint Helena Island. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, far removed from the frantic sprawl of distant cities, favoring instead the quiet industry of the North Basin area. The people of Tall Timbers observe the changing of the seasons not by the calendar, but by the turning color of the marsh reeds and the migration of waterfowl overhead. It is a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the cawing of crows or the distant, rhythmic creak of a boat moored in the salt air, affirming a life anchored to the elements.

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.
