How to Use This Gifford, Washington Map

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

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.

Gifford occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth rises into dry, sun-bleached shoulders that overlook the vast, still reach of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. It lies 35.2 miles north-northeast of Lincoln, WA (from Lincoln, WA: bearing 21°T), and is situated 19.8 miles southeast of Ferry. The landscape remains defined by the presence of Stranger Creek, which cuts a persistent path toward the water, carving through the terrain with a cold, rhythmic clarity. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Cascade Range haunts the horizon, a reminder of the wet, shadowed world that lies far beyond these arid plains. Near the mouth of the local waters, Courtright Canyon deepens the relief of the land, creating steep, shadowed corridors where the wind gathers speed before dissipating over the sagebrush. The light here is thin and sharp, clarifying the edges of the ponderosa pines and turning the surface of the lake into a sheet of hammered, monochromatic silver.

Gifford persists as a place of deliberate movement, where the economy remains tied to the slow harvest of the soil and the stewardship of the surrounding Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The history of the locality is etched into the way the roads trace the contours of the hills, favoring the ancient patterns of the land over the frantic geometry of modern development. Residents navigate a life governed by the seasonal shifts of the reservoir, a modern intervention that fundamentally altered the geography of the valley and continues to dictate the rhythm of the day. There is a particular weight to the silence here, a quality of isolation that rewards the observant traveler with the sight of golden eagles circling the thermal vents above the canyon. In Gifford, the focus is not on the expansion of industry, but on the preservation of a singular, quiet existence amidst the rugged, open spaces of the inland plateau.
