How to Use This Temple Hills, Maryland Map

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 occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of inland terrain and the steady, rhythmic movement of the regional seasons. It lies 1.5 miles south-southeast of Hillcrest Heights, MD (from Hillcrest Heights, MD: bearing 150°T), and is situated 7.4 miles southeast of Washington. The ground beneath Temple Hills rises and falls in modest swells, creating an undulating topography that feels grounded and immovable. To the west, the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, serrated line against the horizon, though they remain far removed from the immediate, wooded character of the locality. Water marks the land with purpose, as Henson Creek winds its way through the nearby soil, carving a path that sustains the local flora. When the light fades, the atmosphere in Temple Hills holds a particular clarity, emphasizing the deep greens of the surrounding woods and the persistent, quiet growth of the earth.

Agriculture and residential expansion have long dictated the progression of life within Temple Hills, serving as the quiet pillars of its historical development. While the economy has shifted toward professional services and retail trade, traces of the older, land-based labor remain visible in the way the neighborhood is plotted and maintained. Industry here is marked by the steady commerce of the suburban corridor, where the daily labor of residents sustains the regional flow of goods and services. The legacy of development is evident in the architecture of the older quadrants, which mirror a deliberate, mid-century approach to growth. Even as modern demands reshape the commercial centers, Temple Hills retains an industrious, practical spirit that favors utility over ornamentation.

Cultural life in Temple Hills thrives in the shared spaces that bring neighbors together, such as the accessible expanse of Temple Hills South Park. This park provides a vital communal anchor, offering a quiet, open reach of land where the pace of the day slows to a human scale. While the bustle of the larger metropolitan region is felt, local events often center on the straightforward pleasures of seasonal gatherings and community-led initiatives. Notable figures such as the musician Ginuwine have emerged from this environment, carrying the influence of these streets into wider public consciousness. Whether one is passing through the nearby Rock Creek Valley or observing the life of the streets, Temple Hills presents itself as a place defined by the steady, persistent rhythm of its people.

About This Temple Hills Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Temple Hills, Maryland. Coordinates: 38.810549, -76.949477. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
