Explore Deer Island, 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 Deer Island, 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 Deer Island.
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.

Deer Island emerges from the low-lying basin as a quiet expanse of alluvial earth and braided waterways where the air holds a permanent, damp weight. It lies 5.1 miles north-northwest of St. Helens, OR (from St. Helens, OR: bearing 348°T), and is situated 9.4 miles north-northwest of Ridgefield. Benham Slough curls around the perimeter of the landscape, its stagnant surface mirroring the heavy gray clouds that drift in from the west, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the eastern horizon. The terrain remains dominated by the dark, vertical reach of timber, with the nearby Goat Island rising from the water like a humped spine of silt and scrub. Merrill Creek carves a thin, silver vein through the mud and brush, its progress toward the North Arm marking the subtle, rhythmic pulse of a region defined by the slow movement of sediment and tide.
Deer Island carries the quiet residue of a landscape shaped by both the river and the steady, extractive pace of local industry. Long before the modern sprawl of the region took hold, the land served as a waypoint for those navigating the intricate waterways, leaving behind a character defined by isolation and the persistent encroachment of the wild. Today, the economy remains tethered to the timber and soil, with the nearby Clatsop State Forest providing a dense, coniferous backdrop to the daily labor of those who work the land. Visitors often find their way toward Martin's Bar to observe the migratory shifts of the season, while the occasional sound of water rushing over Marietta Falls provides the only break in the profound, damp stillness that settles over the fields at dusk.

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.
