How to Use This Edison, Washington Map

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

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 Edison, Washington

Edison is a locality in Skagit County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 240. The population density is 72.3 people per km². Edison is located at 48.5623°N, 122.4438°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 98232.

Edison occupies a low-lying stretch of earth where the persistent, silt-heavy currents of Edison Slough carve a sluggish path toward the salt-heavy air of Puget Sound. It lies 8.1 miles northwest of Burlington, WA (from Burlington, WA: bearing 318°T), and is situated 8.5 miles east-northeast of Anacortes. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, serrated spine of the Cascade Range, an imposing silhouette that seems to hold the gray weather in check against the flat, verdant expanse of the lowlands. Tidal cycles dictate the mood here, as the water pulls back to reveal slick, dark mudflats that shimmer with an oily, iridescent sheen under the heavy clouds. A short distance away, the quiet stillness of Lily Lake offers a freshwater contrast to the brackish reach of the coast, while the nearby reach of Samish Island anchors the view, appearing like a jagged emerald dropped into the expanse of the sound.

Edison retains a rugged, weathered character, defined by the lingering ghosts of a salmon-canning history and the quiet industry of farmers who work the fields toward Jarman Prairie. The local economy has shifted from the frantic harvests of the past to a slower, intentional pace, where art galleries and small-batch bakeries now occupy buildings that once housed gear sheds or hardware stores. Travelers often move through the landscape following the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, which draws a thin, migratory line of hikers past the weathered storefronts. The air here tastes of salt and damp earth, a reminder that Edison exists in a fragile equilibrium between the encroaching tides and the stubborn, fertile soil that has fed this corner of the world for generations.

About This Edison Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Edison, Washington. Coordinates: 48.562329, -122.443777. 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 Edison includes the ZIP code (98232), telephone area code (206, 253), county seat of Skagit County (Mount Vernon), and school district assignment (Burlington-Edison School District).

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.
