Yes its possible. Have a look at the Static Maps API http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/
Note that it required coordiantes to get the map, so you have to seperatly geocode your location. The API provides a Geocoder to do this. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html Note its best to geocode once, and cache this rather than geocode on every page load.
