Explore Ewartsville, 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 Ewartsville, 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 Ewartsville.
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.

Ewartsville occupies a high, sun-bleached expanse of the Palouse where the horizon seems to stretch into an infinite, golden stillness. It lies 6.1 miles west-southwest of Pullman, WA (from Pullman, WA: bearing 252°T), and is situated 14.5 miles west of Moscow. Union Flat Creek carves a quiet, intermittent path through the local topography, its presence marked by the deepening of shadows and the seasonal surge of meltwater against the dry earth. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Mountains provides a jagged anchor for a sky that dominates the visual field with its immense, cloud-swept clarity. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain dips into the rugged, shadowed depths of Buck Canyon, a reminder of the geologic forces that have shaped this arid, expansive plateau. Four miles away, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area offers a protected sweep of native grasses and scrub, preserving a fragment of the landscape as it appeared before the plow redefined the plains.
Ewartsville exists as a quiet node in the vast, agricultural economy of the region, where the steady cycle of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of the year. The settlement emerged from the necessity of taming the expansive, fertile soil, turning a landscape of wild grasses into the productive wheat-growing country that defines the local livelihood today. While the pace of life remains tethered to the productivity of the land, a traveler might find a different sense of scale at Busch Pond, a modest point of stillness fourteen miles away that draws the eye toward the horizon. The character of Ewartsville is defined by this pragmatic endurance, a place where the light at dusk turns the stubble fields into a burnished copper, reflecting a history of labor that values the utility of the earth above all else. Daily life here is marked by the hum of machinery during the harvest and the deep, abiding silence that settles over the fields when the work is done, leaving the inhabitants to contend with the stark, honest beauty of their surroundings.

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.
