Explore Beacon Hill, 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 Beacon Hill, 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 Beacon Hill.
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.

Beacon Hill rises as a singular, elongated spine of land, commanding a perspective that draws the eye across the damp, verdant geography of the Pacific Northwest. It lies 2.2 miles south-southeast of Seattle, WA (from Seattle, WA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west-southwest of Bellevue. The landscape here is defined by a rhythmic elevation that offers a quiet vantage point, where the cool, salt-tinged air drifts inland from Elliott Bay, only two miles to the west. To the east, the waters of Lake Washington shimmer in the low, grey light of afternoon, grounding the neighborhood in a basin shaped by ancient glacial retreat. Residents often find themselves at Stevens Place, a small local park where the stillness of the afternoon allows for a brief respite from the urban hum. On clear days, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms on the horizon, a reminder of the vast, wilder topography that frames this coastal corridor.
Beacon Hill serves as a convergence of history and modern industry, its streets tracing the growth of a neighborhood that evolved from early agricultural roots into a diverse, multifaceted residential center. The proximity to industrial hubs like Harbor Island and the active shipping lanes of the Duwamish East Waterway provides a steady, rhythmic pulse to the local economy, maintaining a connection to the maritime commerce that has long defined the region. Despite the encroaching pace of progress, Beacon Hill retains a distinct character, marked by the steady transit of commuters and the enduring presence of long-standing community gardens that occupy the slopes. The atmosphere here is one of deliberate transition, where the echoes of past laborers mingle with the contemporary energy of a neighborhood that looks outward toward the water while remaining firmly anchored to its own elevated, rugged terrain.

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.
