Explore Bingen, 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 Bingen, 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 Bingen.
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.

Bingen claims a narrow reach of earth where the persistent flow of Dry Creek carves its way toward the larger water, grounding the settlement firmly within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It lies 28.7 miles east-northeast of Skamania, WA (from Skamania, WA: bearing 76°T), and is situated 2.8 miles east-northeast of Hood River. The landscape holds the quiet weight of inland geography, far removed from the coast, where the air possesses a crisp, sharpened clarity that carries the scent of dry timber and cooling stone. High above, the distant silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the horizon, a jagged reminder of the earth’s ancient, volcanic architecture. Light here behaves with a particular intent, lengthening across the terrain at dusk to pull deep, violet shadows from the creases of the ground, while the proximity of Lake Bonneville lends a persistent, cool stillness to the evening atmosphere.
Bingen grew from the steady labor of timber and rail, a history etched into the grain of its architecture and the enduring rhythm of its daily commerce. Across the way, the Hood River Valley offers a lush, green contrast, yet Bingen maintains a distinct character defined by its industrious spirit and its placement amidst the rugged walls of the canyon. Those seeking the reach of the high country often look toward the Wygant Trail, though the life of the place remains centered on the pragmatic pace of its local markets and the steady transit of freight through the gorge. It is a place where the economy follows the pulse of the land, reflecting a heritage of hard work that persists even as the seasons turn the surrounding grasses from vibrant green to a brittle, sun-bleached gold.

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.
