Explore Edgewood, 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 Edgewood, 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 Edgewood.
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.

Edgewood commands a position of quiet transition where the land rises steadily from the low-lying basins toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range. It lies 2.0 miles south-southwest of Lakeland South, WA (from Lakeland South, WA: bearing 195°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east of Tacoma. The topography here is defined by the steady carving of Hylebos Creek, which cuts a winding path through the local terrain as it makes its way toward the salt-tinged air of the coast. To the west, the maritime influence of Commencement Bay exerts a cooling pressure on the afternoons, often wrapping the morning in a soft, silver gray. Travelers moving through the area might notice the subtle shift in elevation as the ground climbs away from the water, leading toward the sheltered expanse of Peasley Canyon. Even in the height of the season, the light retains a certain clarity, reflecting off the surface of Brook Lake to brighten the surrounding woods. Edgewood remains a place where the horizon feels vast, anchored by the immutable presence of the distant peaks.
Edgewood emerged from a landscape once defined by the labor of timber and the slow, methodical clearing of the dense evergreen canopy. Early enterprise relied heavily on the natural resources provided by the surrounding forest, creating an economy that has gradually transitioned toward the modern commerce of the region. Today, the industrial character is shaped by a steady focus on local production and the logistical advantages of its proximity to major shipping corridors. Residents often look toward the regional centers for employment, maintaining a pace that balances industry with the quietude of a residential life. The legacy of those who first broke the soil remains evident in the wide, open spaces that still characterize the outskirts of the district. Edgewood functions as an essential link in the broader network of commerce that flows toward the harbor, connecting the inland productivity to the wider world.
Cultural identity in Edgewood is forged through a persistent connection to the outdoors and the shared rhythm of the Pacific Northwest seasons. The local spirit finds expression in the quiet maintenance of Unknown Park, where the community gathers to observe the changing foliage and the deep, hushed stillness of the woods. Public life is marked by seasonal festivals that draw neighbors together, fostering a sense of continuity that bypasses the frantic speed of larger urban hubs. While the area does not claim the fame of global icons, the residents possess a grounded pride in the stability of their daily routines and the beauty of their immediate surroundings. Life here moves with the tide of the year, from the damp, introspective months of winter to the sudden, brilliant warmth of late summer. Edgewood persists as a place of deliberate living, where the quietude of the landscape informs the temperament of its people.

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.
