Explore Concrete, 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 Concrete, 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 Concrete.
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.

Concrete claims its place where the Baker River carves a restless path through the rugged, timbered lowlands. It lies 8.1 miles north-northwest of Skagit, WA (from Skagit, WA: bearing 349°T), and is situated 25.6 miles south-southeast of Whatcom. The landscape surrounding Concrete is defined by the persistent moisture of the region, which feeds the dense growth of the surrounding woods and keeps the air thick with the scent of damp earth and cedar. To the east, the distant, jagged profile of the Cascade Range anchors the horizon, while the terrain itself remains defined by the proximity of Lake Shannon, whose still, deep waters mirror the shifting clouds. Within the limits of the settlement, Veterans Memorial Park offers a quiet clearing, a modest patch of green that serves as a terrestrial tether amidst the encroaching wilderness of the Marblemount Ranger District.
Concrete emerged from the singular ambition of early industry, its identity forged in the heavy, gray dust of the cement plants that once defined the labor of its inhabitants. Though the kilns have long since cooled, the industrial skeleton of the past remains, a reminder of a time when the local economy relied entirely on the transformation of raw stone into the foundations of a growing nation. Today, the pace of life follows the slow, seasonal pulse of the surrounding woods rather than the frantic whistle of the factory, with residents looking toward the heights of Squak Glacier or the ascent of the Finney Peak Trail for recreation rather than production. The history of the region is etched into the very architecture of the streetscape, where the remnants of a high-production era sit quietly beside the wild, untamed basin of Schriebers Meadow, creating a duality between the memory of heavy machinery and the enduring presence of the natural 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.
