Explore Valley Lee, 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 Valley Lee, 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 Valley Lee.
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.

Valley Lee occupies a quiet expanse of inland plains where the Redman Branch carves a persistent, narrow path through the earth, marking the land with its steady, unhurried flow. It lies 5.8 miles south-southwest of Lexington Park, MD (from Lexington Park, MD: bearing 213°T), and is situated 7.2 miles south of California. The terrain here unfolds in a sequence of muted, agrarian fields and dense, verdant woodlands that seem to hold the afternoon light in a thick, amber suspension. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the horizon rises slightly toward the distant silhouette of Blue Gull Hill, while the nearby Open Space offers a sanctuary of wild grasses that sway in rhythm with the passing breeze. Three miles away, the subtle depression of Carthagena Flats creates a gentle shift in the topography, providing a low-lying contrast to the steady, elevated plains that define the local character.
History in Valley Lee persists in the quiet endurance of its rural architecture and the long-standing traditions of land cultivation that have sustained families for generations. The economy remains tethered to the soil and the careful management of these inland resources, maintaining a pace of life that favors observation over haste. Residents often look toward the small, reflective surface of Long Pond, seven miles removed, as a quiet landmark of the region’s interior geography. The atmosphere is defined by a stillness that settles over the fields at dusk, a time when the air grows cool and the shadows of the trees stretch long and thin across the dirt lanes, grounding Valley Lee in a landscape that has remained largely unchanged by the clamor of the outside 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.
