How to Use This Arlington, Oregon Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arlington, Oregon. 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 Oregon 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 Arlington.
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 Arlington, Oregon
Arlington is a locality in Gilliam County, Oregon, United States. It is a small community with a population of 628. The population density is 95.1 people per km². Arlington is located at 45.7253°N, 120.1890°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. Arlington is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 97812.Arlington occupies a stark, wind-swept stretch of the high desert where the horizon feels impossibly wide and the sky asserts an unrelenting, brilliant blue. It lies 44.7 miles west of Hermiston, OR (from Hermiston, OR: bearing 259°T), and is situated 25.6 miles west-southwest of Boardman. The topography is defined by the deep, arid incision of Alkali Canyon, which carves its way through the landscape toward the shimmering, expansive waters of Lake Umatilla. Near the water, the historic path of the China Ditch serves as a quiet reminder of early labor and the persistent struggle to redirect the desert’s meager moisture. Far to the west, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the distant view, a faint violet suggestion against the pale, bleached earth that characterizes the immediate surroundings.
Arlington maintains a steady, deliberate pace, shaped by a history of agricultural commerce and the shifting demands of regional transit. The economy remains rooted in the rhythm of the harvest and the steady passage of goods through this corridor, where the wind often carries the scent of dry sage and distant grain. Residents of Arlington often gather near the recreational expanse of Lake Umatilla, where the water serves as a vital anchor for both local wildlife and a quiet, daily respite from the sun. Life here is measured in the subtle shifts of light across the bluffs and the enduring resilience of a settlement that has learned to thrive in the quiet, expansive spaces far from the density of the state’s interior valleys.

About This Arlington Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arlington, Oregon. Coordinates: 45.725317, -120.188954. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Arlington includes the ZIP code (97812), telephone area code (541), county seat of Gilliam County (Condon), and school district assignment (Arlington School District 3).
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.
