Explore Hobart, 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 Hobart, 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 Hobart.
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.

Hobart remains a place defined by the steady, persistent flow of Carey Creek as it carves a path through the dense, verdant lowlands. It lies 4.0 miles east-northeast of Maple Valley, WA (from Maple Valley, WA: bearing 60°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south of King. The landscape surrounding Hobart is defined by its inland position, far removed from the coast, where the air holds the cool, damp weight of the temperate woods. Taylor Mill Pond rests quietly nearby, its surface often mirroring the heavy, gray skies that characterize this corner of the state. To the east, the silhouette of the Cascade Range rises against the horizon, providing a distant, jagged boundary to the regional terrain. The proximity to Tiger Mountain State Forest ensures that the deep, earthy scent of pine and cedar is never far from the local atmosphere.
Hobart traces its roots to the quiet industry of the timber era, which shaped the initial settlement and cleared space for the eventual development of the land. The local economy has gradually transitioned from primary resource extraction toward a quieter, residential character that values the preservation of the surrounding woodlands. Much of the land remains under the stewardship of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area, which organizes the wilder outskirts of the region. Work here is often quiet and methodical, reflecting a history built on the patience required to manage a rugged, forested landscape. Green Valley offers a brief, fertile contrast to the steeper, timbered slopes that define the broader geography. Residents often look toward the Tiger Mountain Trail for recreation, finding a rhythm in the steady climb toward the higher ridges.
Hobart maintains a cultural character defined by a slow, deliberate pace of life that prizes privacy and a close connection to the outdoors. There are no grand monuments or bustling commercial hubs here; instead, the community finds its identity in the simplicity of the changing seasons and the quietude of the forest edge. Notable individuals who have called the broader region home often gravitated toward this area for its solitude, seeking a life away from the intensity of larger, more crowded centers. Local gatherings are typically understated, often centering around the shared stewardship of the land or the simple observation of the wildlife that moves through the brush. When dusk falls, the light catches the moisture in the air, softening the outlines of the trees and casting a long, quiet stillness over the neighborhood. Hobart remains a place where the passage of time is marked not by the clock, but by the slow, inevitable growth of the timber and the seasonal rise of the local creeks.

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.
