Explore Cedar Hills, 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 Cedar Hills, 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 Cedar Hills.
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.

Cedar Hills endures as a quiet expanse where the damp, cool air of the Pacific Northwest shapes the daily pulse of the landscape. It lies 1.3 miles north-northeast of Beaverton, OR (from Beaverton, OR: bearing 12°T), and is situated 6.1 miles west-southwest of Portland. The terrain unfolds in modest rises and depressions, characterized by a persistent greenery that thrives under the gray, heavy skies of the region. A short distance away, the waters of Commonwealth Lake offer a stillness that mirrors the surrounding woodland, while the nearby Messinger Creek provides a steady, rhythmic cadence to the edge of the residential grid. Though the distant peaks of the Coast Range remain only a faint suggestion on the horizon, the local topography feels grounded by the presence of Balch Canyon. Residents often find respite in the expansive grounds of the Cedar Hills Recreation Center, where the natural fiber of the land remains accessible to all who wander its paths.
Cedar Hills grew from the deliberate expansion of suburban development, shifting the character of the soil from quiet timberland to a structured residential environment. The local economy relies heavily on the service sectors and professional trades that support the broader growth of the neighboring metropolitan corridors. Industry here is quiet, favoring small-scale commercial hubs over the heavy manufacturing that once defined more industrial outposts. The legacy of the area is tied to the steady, methodical pace of post-war suburban planning, which organized the community into the functional grid seen today. Commerce flows toward the proximity of Swan Island, where the industrial activity of the Swan Island Basin reminds inhabitants of the region’s long-standing maritime and logistics heritage.
Cedar Hills maintains a cultural identity rooted in the practical, unpretentious spirit of the modern Oregonian experience. The community gathers for local events that emphasize the changing of the seasons, often utilizing the amenities at the Cedar Hills Recreation Center as a focal point for neighborhood connection. While the area does not claim the birthplaces of world-renowned figures, it remains a place where the focus stays on the quiet accumulation of daily life rather than the clamor of celebrity. Architecture here reflects a mid-century sensibility, with homes that favor large windows to capture the low-slung, diffused light of the rainy months. The atmosphere is one of deliberate calm, where the influence of the nearby woods and the proximity to the coast creates a space that feels both isolated and deeply connected to the wider world.

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.
