Maryland 是专有名词,英语专有名词首字母必须大写,因此不能写成全小写的 maryland。
Maryland locates in the eastern United States.Maryland is located in the eastern United States.
locate 是及物动词,表示“位于”时要用被动语态 be located;主动语态 locates 表达的是“安置”而非“位于”,所以改为 is located 才符合英语表达。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 Maryland 拆成 Mary(玛丽)+land(土地),想象“玛丽(Mary)的土地(land)”就是美国马里兰州。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:地理、旅行、历史 作为美国州名,马里兰在正式与非正式语境中均为中性表达,通常用于地理、旅行、新闻等场合。该词在历史上也指英国殖民地之一,但现代用法基本专指美国马里兰州。
Grammar Note
专有名词,指美国马里兰州;表示“在马里兰州”时用介词 in,如 in Maryland。
Pronunciation & Spelling
马里兰的重音在第一个音节:/ˈmerilənd/,所以它与 England、Scotland、Ireland、Finland、Thailand 等并不真正押韵,尽管它们都以 -land 结尾。这些地名中非重读的 -land 常读作 /lənd/,与马里兰的弱读尾音节一致,但重读元音不同。Thailand 尤其要注意,读作 /ˈtaɪlænd/,-land 发完整的 /æ/。Fairyland (/ˈferilænd/) 在整体读音上最接近 Maryland,但其尾元音是 /æ/ 而不是 /ə/,只能算近似韵。
