Explore Cunningham, 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 Cunningham, 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 Cunningham.
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.

Cunningham occupies a quiet expanse of arid high desert where the horizon feels vast enough to swallow the sun whole. It lies 30.8 miles southeast of Moses Lake, WA (from Moses Lake, WA: bearing 134°T), and is situated 17.4 miles east of Othello. The earth here is defined by the sharp, downward slope of Cunningham Coulee, a deep scar in the terrain that dictates the flow of wind and shadow across the dry bunchgrass. To the west, the jagged, distant teeth of the Cascade Range provide a permanent, hazy boundary against the sky, while the immediate surroundings are managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area. The light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, turning the dust of the plains into a fine, shimmering gold that clings to the stalks of wheat and the weathered fence posts lining the rural roads.
Agriculture serves as the pulse of Cunningham, a rhythmic cycle governed by the sparse rainfall and the ingenuity of irrigation. Water, channeled from the Kansas Prairie Siphon, sustains the stubborn life of the fields, turning patches of parched earth into productive rows that define the local economy. Though the pace of daily life is measured by the slow turn of the harvest, the presence of Scooteney Reservoir miles away offers a rare, reflective stillness in the landscape, a basin of blue held against the unrelenting dryness. History here is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of those who cultivate this demanding soil, finding a stark, austere beauty in the wide, open silence of the plains.

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.
