Annapolis Maps and Orientation

(Annapolis, Maryland - MD, USA)



Located in central Maryland and alongside Chesapeake Bay, the city of Annapolis stands within the county of Anne Arundel, where it is the county seat. However, the largest city in Anne Arundel County is actually Glen Burnie, which boasts a population in the region of 70,000 people, while just under 40,000 currently live in Annapolis.

The city stands at the mouth of the meandering Severn River, being sited roughly 45 minutes to the south of Baltimore and slightly less than an hour to the east of Washington DC. To the north of the city, the Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard (MD Route 450) crosses the bay, connecting the Forrest Sherman Field with the Jonas Green State Park and leading to the Governor Ritchie Highway.

Annapolis is a relatively small city, being centered around the Maryland State House and its State Circle. From this point a number of roads radiate outwards, leading to Main Street, West Street, College Avenue, King George Street and the Duke of Gloucester Street.
