Explore Carlton, Oregon, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Carlton, 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 Carlton.
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.

Carlton anchors the verdant floor of the Willamette Valley, where the air holds the cool, damp weight of the distant Coast Range that defines the western horizon. It lies 5.9 miles north of McMinnville, OR (from McMinnville, OR: bearing 11°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west of Newberg. The land here rises in gentle, deliberate swells, shaped by the slow passage of water toward the North Yamhill River, which flows with quiet persistence only a mile away. Sunlight at dusk catches the silver-gray bark of native oaks, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the fields before dissolving into the gathering gloom. Near the center of the landscape, the stillness of Sitton Reservoir offers a mirror to the sky, while the deep, emerald canopy of the Tillamook State Forest looms in the distance, a reminder of the wilder, shadowed timberlands that hem in this fertile basin.
Carlton preserves the cadence of an agrarian past, its identity rooted in the rows of grapevines that climb the slopes of Puddy Gulch and the surrounding acreage. The economy pulses with the slow, patient labor of viticulture, where the transformation of earth into wine serves as the primary language of the region. Residents gather at the Upper City Park and Pool to mark the passage of the seasons, a space that acts as the quiet focus of daily life. Though the rhythms of the modern world press against these boundaries, the local character remains defined by a stubborn, grounded focus on the soil and the seasonal harvest, echoing the persistence of those who first cleared the brush to plant their lives in this heavy, dark loam.

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.
