How to Use This Electric City, Washington Map

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

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.

Electric City emerges from the basalt plains of the high desert, a place defined by the vast, stillness-holding expanse of Banks Lake. It lies 16.1 miles west of Clark, WA (from Clark, WA: bearing 271°T), and is situated 29.7 miles west-northwest of Lincoln. The landscape around Electric City is defined by the stark, volcanic architecture of the Columbia Basin, where the ground rises in rugged, sun-bleached terraces that drop toward the nearby Columbia River. To the west, the distant, snow-dusted silhouette of the Cascade Range marks the horizon, a jagged blue line that separates the dry, golden grasses of the plateau from the damp, shadowed forests of the coast. Within the immediate vicinity, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area provides a wild, untamed perimeter, while the shadowed, wind-hollowed walls of Rattlesnake Canyon offer a reminder of the ancient erosive forces that shaped this terrain. The air here holds a particular, dry clarity, and when the sun begins its descent behind the western peaks, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet that seems to vibrate against the dark stone.

History in Electric City remains inextricably tied to the monumental engineering of the mid-twentieth century, an era that transformed the arid landscape into a hub of industrial ambition. The economy remains anchored by the rhythms of regional energy production and the seasonal influx of those drawn to the deep, irrigation-fed waters of Banks Lake for recreation. Beyond the immediate municipal footprint, the land holds secrets like the spray of Martin Falls, which cuts a cool, ephemeral path through the surrounding rock seven miles away. Daily life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place accustomed to the extremes of a continental climate, where the heat of summer bakes the earth into a hard, cracked mosaic and the winter wind scours the plains clean. It is a location of utility and stark perspective, where the human footprint is small against the backdrop of geological time, yet the spirit of the place endures in the steady, unadorned work of those who reside where the high desert meets the water.
