Explore Temple Hills, 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 Temple Hills, 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 Temple Hills.
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.

Temple Hills emerges from the Maryland landscape as a convergence of suburban persistence and the quiet, persistent pull of the Atlantic lowlands. The terrain here holds a subtle tension between the built environment and the softening edges of the earth, where the drainage of Bynum Run carves a modest path through the soil just a mile from the stillness of Atkisson Reservoir. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, the horizon is anchored by the distant silhouette of Rock Ridge, a reminder of the rising ground that keeps the coastal humidity trapped in the air. On humid afternoons, the light catches the leaves in the nearby Stoney Forest Demonstration Area, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch toward the water, while the proximity to the coast—a mere thirteen miles away—brings a salt-heavy breeze that feels as though it has traveled far across the reaches of Baynes Cove to arrive here.
Temple Hills functions as a quiet artery of the region, its rhythm defined by the daily movement of commuters and the local endurance of spaces like the Emmorton Recreation & Tennis Ctr. The economic life of the area is less a matter of grand industry and more a steady, quiet accumulation of families who have chosen to settle amidst the older, deeper colonial echoes of the state. Life unfolds in the gaps between the brick-and-mortar development, where the memory of older, agrarian patterns persists in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying plots. Though the nearby Verdant Valley and the distant shores of Rumsey Island suggest a world of more dramatic topography, Temple Hills remains grounded in the practical, unpretentious business of its own existence, moving forward with the steady, measured pace of a place that values the routine of the day over the clamor of the wider world.

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.
