How to Use This George, Washington Map

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

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.

George sits upon a high, basalt-strewn plateau where the sun bleaches the grasses to a pale straw color and shadows stretch thin across the arid earth. It lies 27.4 miles west of Moses Lake, WA (from Moses Lake, WA: bearing 263°T), and is situated 10.7 miles south of Quincy. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range, a cool blue reminder of the forested heights that loom sixty-one miles away. Near the edge of the plateau, the landscape breaks into deep, dramatic fissures like Frenchman Coulee, where the wind carries the dry scent of sagebrush and ancient volcanic dust. Only a mile from the center of George, the Quincy Lakes offer a quiet sanctuary of water and wetland, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding expanse of high-desert plains.

Agriculture dictates the rhythm of life in George, as expansive orchards and fields thrive in the arid climate through careful irrigation. The presence of the Frenchman Hills Wasteway seven miles away serves as a vital artery for the local economy, feeding the thirsty rows of crops that define the regional labor. Residents often look toward Evergreen Reservoir, three miles distant, when the heat of the afternoon sun settles heavily over the flatlands. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, shaped by the stark, open sky and the quiet endurance of those who cultivate this rugged, sun-drenched expanse.
