Explore Five Corners, 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 Five Corners, 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 Five Corners.
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.

Five Corners emerges from a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Yelm Creek, which traces a path through the low-lying terrain with a steady, unhurried purpose. The earth here is firm and temperate, marked by the expansive, open character of the Yelm Prairie that stretches out to meet the horizon. At dusk, the light catches the tall grasses in a pale, amber glow, casting long shadows that seem to anchor the buildings to the soil. A traveler moving through the vicinity might note the proximity of Longmire Community Park, a quiet expanse of green that offers a pause in the daily routine. Far to the east, the jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range serves as a distant, permanent boundary against the sky, while the cooling moisture of the air suggests the presence of Lake Lawrence, resting five miles away in the stillness of the woodland.
Five Corners functions as a vital intersection where the patterns of regional commerce and local life converge in a steady, pragmatic rhythm. The economy here is rooted in the practical necessities of the inland landscape, reflecting a history of land management and modest industry that has shaped the way the community organizes its daily affairs. Residents move between the residential stretches and the small-scale enterprises that keep the local pulse steady, favoring a life that values the quietude of the prairie over the clamor of larger hubs. There is a distinctive, grounded quality to the way the days unfold, where the proximity of natural features like Yelm Creek informs the slow, deliberate pace of work and leisure. Even as the modern world edges closer, Five Corners retains a sense of self-possession, defined by the interplay of its long-standing geography and the persistent, industrious spirit of those who make their lives upon this plateau.

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.
