Cities of Maryland
Maryland lies on the east coast of the United States, around the great Chesapeake Bay and right next to the national capital, Washington D.C. The state capital is Annapolis, but its largest city is Baltimore. On this map you fly across Maryland and learn where places like Frederick, Gaithersburg, Hagerstown and Ocean City are located.
Maryland is a small but varied state. The Chesapeake Bay cuts deep into the land and splits it into an eastern and a western side. The Potomac River forms the southern border, alongside rivers like the Patapsco and the Patuxent. Annapolis is known as the home of the US Naval Academy, and Baltimore is a large port city. Ocean City sits on the Atlantic coast as a seaside resort.
