Explore Washington, Utah, 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 Washington, Utah. 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 Utah 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 Washington.
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.

Washington reveals itself through a landscape defined by the persistent, quiet movement of Mill Creek as it carves a path through the arid earth. It lies 4.1 miles northeast of St. George, UT (from St. George, UT: bearing 55°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-southeast of Ivins. The surrounding terrain is marked by the rugged, sun-bleached prominence of Washington Black Ridge, which stands as a silent sentinel over the horizon. Further out, the expanse of the land opens into the wide, dry stretches of Middleton Wash, where the wind carries the scent of sagebrush across the plains. During the cooling hours of dusk, the light softens against the earth, turning the dusty soil into shades of bruised plum and ochre. Those who traverse this terrain find a stillness that feels ancient, punctuated only by the occasional ripple of water or the shift of desert shadows.
Washington carries the weight of a pioneer legacy, established by settlers who sought to cultivate the desert through the careful channeling of water. This history of agrarian labor has evolved into a modern economy, where the rhythm of daily life is supported by a mix of local commerce and service industries. Fields that were once dedicated to early crops have shifted, yet the industrious spirit of the founders remains a tangible thread in the local character. The land requires a certain tenacity from its inhabitants, as the climate dictates the pace of progress and the way business is conducted. Even as new construction spreads across the valley, the essential, hardworking nature of the place remains anchored to its roots in the soil.
Washington fosters a community spirit that finds its anchor at Veterans Park, a central space where the generations gather under the expansive desert sky. Residents often find their way to the banks of the creek or look toward the distant silhouette of the ridge to mark the passage of the day. While the region is characterized by its quiet, modest pace, it serves as a gateway to the broader, dramatic geologic formations that define the southern portion of the state. Local events often turn on the seasonal shifts in temperature, bringing the populace together to celebrate during the milder months. The character of the people is as resilient as the flora that clings to the dry basin, reflecting a quiet pride in a life built away from the clamor of larger, more crowded centers.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Washington, Utah. Coordinates: 37.130288, -113.487759. 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 Washington includes the ZIP code (84780), telephone area code (801), county seat of Washington County (St. George), and school district assignment (Washington School District).
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.
