How to Use This Eastsound, Washington Map

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

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 Eastsound, Washington

Eastsound is a locality in San Juan County, Washington, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,400. The population density is 280.0 people per km². Eastsound is located at 48.6968°N, 122.9055°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 98245.

Eastsound commands a low, salt-sprayed peninsula where the tides of Puget Sound press incessantly against the land, shaping a shoreline defined by the slow, rhythmic pulse of the sea. It lies 12.8 miles northeast of San Juan, WA (from San Juan, WA: bearing 38°T), and is situated 4.5 miles north-northeast of Orcas Island. The air here holds a distinct, briny clarity, thick with the scent of kelp and cedar, while the horizon remains wide and open, offering only the faintest suggestion of the distant Cascade Range shimmering like a pale ghost across the eastern sky. Inland, the terrain softens into the quiet, sheltered depression of Crow Valley, where the stillness of the earth contrasts with the churning waters of the nearby Freeman Island. A short trek away, the waters of Fowler Pond mirror the overcast sky, and the persistent, crystalline spill of Rustic Falls provides a rhythmic counterpoint to the distant, hushed flow of Moran Creek.

Eastsound endures as a place where the economy remains bound to the rhythms of the water and the stewardship of the land, specifically within the boundaries of the San Juan County/Cypress Island Marine Biological Preserve. This protected status ensures that the natural character of the littoral zone remains largely undisturbed, preserving a legacy of rugged island life that has long prioritized the health of the marine ecosystem over industrial expansion. The pace of daily life is dictated by the ferry schedule and the seasonal migration of light, creating a culture that values a deliberate, observational existence. Here, the history of the region is not merely written in records but etched into the very soil of the preserve, where the silence of the woods and the cold, dark depths of the surrounding sound remind every inhabitant of the immense, indifferent beauty that defines Eastsound.

About This Eastsound Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Eastsound, Washington. Coordinates: 48.696771, -122.905462. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Eastsound includes the ZIP code (98245), telephone area code (206, 253), county seat of San Juan County (Friday Harbor), and school district assignment.

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.
