Explore Selfridge AGB, Michigan, 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 Selfridge AGB, Michigan. 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 Michigan 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 Selfridge AGB.
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.

Selfridge AGB occupies a flat, expansive plateau where the horizon stretches wide under a vast, cloud-swept sky. It lies 1.9 miles north-northwest of Harrison Township, MI (from Harrison Township, MI: bearing 345°T), and is situated 5.0 miles east-northeast of Clinton Township. The inland terrain remains largely level, characterized by open fields and the quiet movement of water through the nearby Tucker Jones Drain. A short distance away, the expansive surface of Lake Saint Clair catches the amber light of late afternoon, reflecting the shifting colors of the atmosphere. To the west, the subtle rise of Twombly Mountain creates a distant silhouette against the evening haze. The proximity to the Saint Clair Flats provides a sense of open, low-lying space that defines the local topography.
Selfridge AGB emerged from the early twentieth-century pursuit of aviation, establishing a firm presence in the regional landscape that has persisted through decades of technical change. The local economy remains anchored by this enduring military installation, which serves as a primary driver for regional employment and industrial support. Beyond the perimeter, the surrounding land reflects the broader history of agricultural development and manufacturing that defines this portion of the state. Small-scale commerce and service industries have grown to support the personnel and families who live in the vicinity. The rhythm of daily life here follows the steady, disciplined pace of an installation that has long been a fixture of the regional economy.
Selfridge AGB fosters a distinct cultural identity shaped by the intersection of military tradition and the surrounding civilian life. Visitors often find a modest reprieve at Community Center Park, where the local vegetation offers a quiet contrast to the structured lines of the base. While the base maintains a focused professional atmosphere, the surrounding area benefits from the seasonal shifts that bring subtle beauty to the flat terrain. Notable figures, such as the legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, once trained here, leaving a mark on the site's history that persists in the collective memory. Community events occasionally draw people from the surrounding plains, reinforcing the connections between those who serve and those who reside in the nearby landscape.

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.
