Explore Ferry, 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 Ferry, 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 Ferry.
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.

Ferry occupies a quiet expanse of land where the horizon feels vast and the light at dusk settles with a peculiar, golden weight upon the ground. It lies 38.7 miles north-northeast of Clark, WA (from Clark, WA: bearing 13°T), and is situated 27.6 miles west of Colville. The landscape surrounding Ferry is defined by its inland solitude, anchored seven miles from the expansive waters of Crawfish Lake. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Cascade Range haunts the skyline, reminding observers of the rugged geography that defines this portion of the state. One mile from the center, the North Fork Hall Creek carves a path through the earth, offering a constant, rhythmic presence to those wandering the nearby paths. The dense timber of Colville National Forest presses close to the edge of town, providing a deep, evergreen backdrop that softens the transition between the settlement and the wilder terrain.
Economic life in Ferry has long been tethered to the timber and resources provided by the surrounding landscape, reflecting a history of industrious self-reliance. Residents often look toward the nearby woodlands for their livelihood, maintaining a connection to the primary industries that have supported the region for generations. While the pace of commerce remains modest, the daily labor of the people contributes to a sustained, quiet stability that ignores the frantic speed of larger urban centers. The influence of the geography is undeniable, as the proximity to Chipmunk Canyon and the surrounding forest dictates the seasonal flow of work and movement. Every structural choice in the local economy seems designed to withstand the long, gray winters that settle over the valley, preserving the integrity of the buildings that define the streetscape.
Ferry possesses a character forged by the stillness of its environment and the independence of its people, who move through their days with a deliberate grace. Hall Creek Road serves as the primary artery for those exploring the natural features, acting as a gateway to the trails that wind through the dense growth of the Colville National Forest. While the area does not cater to the clamor of mass tourism, it provides a sanctuary for those who value the singular beauty of a landscape that asks for nothing in return. The spirit of the place is reflected in the way the morning mist clings to the trees, creating an atmosphere of profound, uninterrupted calm. No singular celebrity defines the identity of Ferry; rather, the collective lives of its inhabitants, grounded in the rhythms of the seasons and the land, constitute its true and enduring legacy.

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.
