This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Markham, Ontario. 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 to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Ontario or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Markham and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Markham.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, 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 — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue 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.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Markham is a town in York, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Markham is located at 43.8765°N, 79.2634°W.
Markham sits upon the rolling terrain of York, defined by a landscape that holds the memory of ancient glacial shifts beneath its modern surface. It lies 17.4 km north-north-east of Toronto, ON (from Toronto, ON: bearing 30°T), and is situated 11.1 km west-south-west of Pickering. The earth here rises toward Dicksons Hill, an elevation that offers a quiet vantage point over the surrounding fields and suburban stretches. While the horizon remains broad and open, the natural world lingers nearby; the Parc urbain national du Canada de la Rouge lies about 7 km away, providing a sanctuary of green space that invites the wild into the periphery. Further afield, the water shapes the wider region, with the Rivière Rouge running about 14 km away and the quiet expanse of Simeon Lake resting about 14 km away, both serving as distant, cool anchors to the local geography. The history of Markham draws from a legacy of agricultural endurance, having transitioned from a scattered collection of milling settlements into a hub of innovation. Over the years, the local economy shifted its weight from the harvest of crops to the cultivation of technology and professional services, earning a reputation as a center for high-tech industry. This evolution has not erased the past, but rather layered it, as the storefronts of historic districts stand alongside sleek, glass-fronted offices. At dusk, the light catches the brickwork of older buildings, casting long shadows that bridge the gap between the town’s industrious beginnings and its current, rapid growth. The cultural character of Markham thrives on a diverse population that brings a global perspective to its daily life, creating a rhythm of activity that feels both purposeful and welcoming. Residents often gather in public spaces that emphasize community connection, whether through seasonal festivals or the quiet bustle of local markets. While many notable figures have walked these streets, the spirit of the place is most visible in the ordinary interactions of its people. The air here often carries a crisp, clean clarity, particularly during the transition of seasons, grounding the residents in the physical reality of a landscape that continues to transform while keeping its essential, quiet heart.

Explore Markham, Ontario, Canada, with an embedded street and satellite map — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 43.87653, -79.2634. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts — including hourly outlooks — are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.
Detailed location data for Markham includes the postal code (L3P), telephone area code (226, 249, 289, 343, 365, 382, 416, 437, 519, 548, 613, 647, 705, 742, 807, 905). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS 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 for Markham is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
