How to Use This Curlew Lake, Washington Map

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

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.

About Curlew Lake, Washington

Curlew Lake is a locality in Ferry County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 512. The population density is 45.4 people per km². Curlew Lake is located at 48.7311°N, 118.6663°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 99166.

Curlew Lake stretches across the valley floor as a long, silvered mirror reflecting the heavy, low-slung clouds of the interior highlands. It lies 55.6 miles north of Clark, WA (from Clark, WA: bearing 1°T), and is situated 19.5 miles north-northwest of Ferry. The waters of Trout Creek feed into the basin, carving a path through the earth that dictates the local rhythm of the landscape. To the west, the horizon holds the faint, jagged suggestion of the Cascade Range, a distant wall that keeps the moisture of the coast at bay and leaves this basin to its own austere, dry climate. The ground here favors pine and scrub brush, with the Curlew Lake providing a quiet sanctuary for those who track the seasonal migrations of waterfowl through the silent, golden-hued afternoons.

Curlew Lake serves as a quiet anchor for a region defined by its distance from the frantic pace of the urban centers. History here is found in the deep, quiet labor of the land, where the economy has long been tethered to the slow cycles of forestry and the seasonal demands of agriculture. A few miles away, the vast expanse of Saint Peter Flat offers a stark, open contrast to the timbered heights, while the Storm King Trail draws the occasional traveler into the rugged interior for a perspective on the sheer scale of the wilderness. Life in the vicinity of Curlew Lake moves with the deliberation of the seasons, marked by the sharp bite of winter air and the persistent, quiet growth of the pines that climb the surrounding slopes.
