Explore Battle Ground, Washington, 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 Battle Ground, Washington. 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 Washington 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 Battle Ground.
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.

Battle Ground occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the steady, modest flow of Weaver Creek. It lies 5.8 miles northeast of Mount Vista, WA (from Mount Vista, WA: bearing 56°T), and is situated 8.0 miles north of Orchards. The surrounding terrain unfolds in a series of gentle, open spaces that eventually transition into the broader expanse of the Fourth Plains. Residents often look toward the distant horizon where the Cascade Range silhouettes the sky, marking the boundary between the verdant lowlands and the higher country beyond. Only two miles from the center, the still waters of Battle Ground Lake offer a reflective contrast to the moving currents of the nearby streams. Sunlight here has a way of lingering in the late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields and emphasizing the quiet, industrious spirit of the landscape.
Agriculture and timber once defined the early settlement of Battle Ground, creating a foundation that persists in the community’s resilient work ethic today. Early settlers cleared the dense woods to establish homesteads, turning the soil into a productive patchwork of farms that fed the growing region. Over time, the local economy transitioned to support a mix of small-scale manufacturing, retail, and service industries that sustain the modern household. While the machinery of industry hums in the background, the town maintains a steady pace of commerce that values consistency over rapid expansion. Families here benefit from a blend of traditional vocational roots and the opportunities provided by the broader regional market. This economic stability allows the residents to maintain a focused, deliberate way of life that honors the labor of those who settled the land generations ago.
Cultural life in Battle Ground finds its expression in public spaces like Central Park, where neighbors gather to mark the changing of the seasons. The local identity is shaped by a deep appreciation for the natural features of the area, including the impressive rush of water at Salmon Falls nearby. Throughout the year, community events bring a sense of cohesion to the streets, reinforcing the bonds of a place that values its own quiet history. While the area is modest in its presentation, it has served as a home for notable figures such as the musician Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, who found inspiration in the solitude of the region. Visitors often remark on the unpretentious atmosphere that permeates the local shops and gathering spots. Battle Ground remains a place where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the turning of the calendar and the simple beauty of the immediate, inland 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.
