How to Use This Burton, Washington Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Burton, 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 Burton.

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.

Burton occupies a singular, salt-sprayed edge where the land softens into the tidal reach of Quartermaster Harbor. It lies 4.0 miles south of Vashon Island, WA (from Vashon Island, WA: bearing 181°T), and is situated 9.4 miles north of Tacoma. The horizon holds the faint, jagged suggestion of the Cascade Range, a distant wall of stone that seems to anchor the wide, gray sky above the evergreen canopy. Life here moves to the slow, rhythmic exhaling of the tide, which pulls away from the shore to reveal the dark, slick stones of the beach. Inland, the terrain rises into the quiet green folds of Paradise Valley, while the cool, clear pulse of Judd Creek carves a narrow path through the dense, damp undergrowth toward the water. On quiet afternoons, the air carries a sharp, clean scent of brine and cedar, a reminder of the Maury Island Aquatic Reserve that guards the fragile, submerged life just offshore.

Burton emerged from the quiet industry of early maritime trade, its character shaped by the steady, salt-crusted work of boatyards and the small, independent spirits who favored the island’s isolation. While the bustle of the mainland feels a world away, the local economy remains tethered to the water and the land, where the shadow of Maury Island looms across the harbor like a silent, forested sentinel. Residents often find their way toward the stillness of Wildwood Pond, a hidden pocket of freshwater two miles distant, or lose track of time while walking the shoreline. The atmosphere is defined by a deep, literate quietude, where the passage of the seasons is measured less by calendars and more by the turning of the tide and the shifting, pearlescent light that settles over the harbor as evening draws near.
