Explore Tilghmanton, 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 Tilghmanton, 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 Tilghmanton.
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.

Tilghmanton emerges from the quiet, agricultural expanse of Washington County as a collection of limestone farmhouses and modest dwellings anchored to the Maryland earth. It lies 5.9 miles south-southwest of Washington, MD (from Washington, MD: bearing 202°T), and is situated 7.6 miles south of Hagerstown. The landscape surrounding Tilghmanton is defined by the steady, unadorned persistence of the Piedmont, where the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A mile to the east, the waters of Marsh Run trace a narrow path through the fields, carving a rhythmic boundary through the soil that has sustained local harvests for generations. In the late afternoon, the light here turns a pale, bruised gold, catching the dust of gravel roads and the weathered siding of barns that have long outlasted the men who raised them.
History in this region is measured in the steady turning of the plow and the heavy, humid stillness that settles after a summer storm. Tilghmanton maintains a character forged by deep-rooted agrarian traditions, where the pace of life remains tethered to the cycles of planting and the quiet maintenance of the land. While the modern world moves with a different velocity, the proximity to the Weverton-Roxbury Rail Trail offers a lingering connection to the industrial ambitions of the past, now reclaimed by hikers and those seeking the silence of the woods. Whether one looks toward the distant slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains or walks the quiet perimeter near Marsh Run, the locality retains a stoic, functional beauty that asks for little and offers a grounded sense of place to those who linger.

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.
