How to Use This Bethany, Oregon Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bethany, 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 Bethany.

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 Bethany, Oregon

Bethany is a locality in Marion County, Oregon, United States. It has a population of 31,350. The population density is 2224.2 people per km². Bethany is located at 45.5613°N, 122.8369°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 97381, 97229.

Bethany occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the persistent, silver-threaded path of Silver Creek as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 1.8 miles west-northwest of Silverton, OR (from Silverton, OR: bearing 286°T), and is situated 9.3 miles south-southeast of Woodburn. The horizon remains dominated by the distant silhouette of the Coast Range, a faint, jagged line that marks the edge of the world against the twilight sky. To the east, the flat, fertile stretch of Howell Prairie provides a sense of openness that contrasts with the dense, dark green stands of Douglas fir that cling to the higher ground. The air here holds a consistent, cool moisture, thickening at dusk when the light turns a bruised, metallic gray. Only a mile away, the surface of Beyer Reservoir mirrors the changing colors of the canopy, its stillness anchoring the landscape in a profound, heavy silence that persists even as the day fades.

Bethany emerged from a landscape once defined by the slow, deliberate work of agriculture, though the modern rhythm of the locality now favors a suburban evolution that has reshaped its original character. Residents often find respite at Rogers Wayside, a small patch of preserved land that offers a glimpse into the quiet, unadorned beauty of the region’s natural growth. While the economy has shifted away from the early reliance on timber and raw land, the influence of the nearby valley remains, evident in the way the local pace slows when the season turns. Travelers seeking the more dramatic, vertical geography of the region might venture toward Drift Creek Falls, but those who stay in Bethany recognize that the true essence of the place lies in its steady, understated pulse. Life here is measured not by grand events, but by the subtle shifts in the seasonal light and the quiet movement of water through the creek beds that have sustained this ground for generations.

About This Bethany Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bethany, Oregon. Coordinates: 45.561341, -122.836947. 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 Bethany includes the ZIP code (97381, 97229), telephone area code (503, 971), county seat of Marion County (Salem), and school district assignment (Beaverton School District 48J).

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.
