Explore Coulee City, 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 Coulee City, 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 Coulee City.
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.

Coulee City anchors itself upon the arid, expansive floor of the Upper Grand Coulee, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that seems to hold more light than the earth below. It lies 33.2 miles east of Douglas, WA (from Douglas, WA: bearing 91°T), and is situated 33.2 miles north of Moses Lake. The landscape is defined by the stark, basaltic remnants of ancient geologic upheaval, creating a rugged frame for the shimmering expanse of Banks Lake, which mirrors the vastness of the plateau. A short distance away, Meadow Creek carves a quiet path through the terrain, its subtle presence a contrast to the sheer, vertical drama of Steamboat Rock, which stands as a silent sentinel over the plains. Far to the west, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Cascade Range marks the distant edge of the world, reminding the observer that the climate here remains firmly within the domain of dry, inland heat and sudden, cooling winds.
Agriculture serves as the pulse of Coulee City, with the rhythm of the seasons dictated by the cycles of irrigation and harvest that sustain the surrounding fields. The history of the area is etched into the very soil, reflecting the persistent labor required to cultivate this demanding terrain, a task that has shaped the character of those who live in the shadow of the coulee walls. Locals navigate the days with a deliberate, steady pace, finding beauty in the way the late afternoon sun catches the golden wheat stalks or the cool, deep blue of the irrigation-fed waters. Life remains centered on the land, where the scarcity of shade and the abundance of open space foster a quiet independence, making Coulee City a place where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the slow, shifting shadows cast across the basalt.

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.
