How to Use This King Salmon, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for King Salmon, Alaska. 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, 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).
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 official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to King Salmon.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), 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.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams 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.

About King Salmon, Alaska
King Salmon is a locality in Bristol Bay, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 307. The population density is 0.7 people per km². King Salmon is located at 58.7352°N, 156.5285°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Anchorage) timezone. ZIP code: 99613.King Salmon serves as an expansive threshold where the flat, brush-choked expanse of the interior meets the quiet reach of the sky. It lies 291.8 miles southwest of Anchorage, AK (from Anchorage, AK: bearing 236°T), and is situated 68.6 miles east-southeast of Dillingham. The landscape around King Salmon unfolds in wide, muted shades of lichen-gray and tundra-brown, marked by the slow, deliberate movement of Eskimo Creek as it winds through the low-lying plains. Far off to the horizon, the silhouette of Johnson Hill rises as a singular, muted punctuation mark against the vastness of the subarctic light. Here, the air holds a crisp, thin quality that clarifies the distance, making the immense scale of the earth seem to press inward, dwarfing the scattered structures that claim a small space upon the permafrost.
History in King Salmon remains tethered to the enduring necessity of the bush plane and the administrative presence that coordinates the stewardship of the wild. The King Salmon Administrative Site anchors the local rhythm, serving as a quiet focal point for those who manage the preservation of the surrounding hinterland. Life here follows the subtle, seasonal shifts of the interior, where the economy relies on the logistical pulse of transport and the methodical work of land management rather than the fleeting trends of larger centers. Evenings bring a particular, lingering clarity to the horizon, a stillness that settles over the low vegetation and reminds any observer that the wilderness is not merely a backdrop, but the primary tenant of this land.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG 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 is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
