Explore Home Valley, 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 Home Valley, 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 Home Valley.
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.

Home Valley occupies a quiet expanse of land where the Columbia River carves its steady, relentless path through the earth. It lies 14.0 miles east-northeast of Skamania, WA (from Skamania, WA: bearing 66°T), and is situated 2.8 miles southeast of Carson. The air here holds the damp, cool weight of a region defined by its inland geography, far removed from the brine of any coast. Within the boundaries of Lake Bonneville, the landscape shifts between the rugged, shadowed depths of the river corridor and the elevated, silent presence of the Benson Plateau rising six miles away. The light at dusk settles over the water in long, bruised purples, casting the surrounding terrain into sharp relief as the silhouette of the Cascade Range looms on the distant horizon, a reminder of the vast, craggy spine that separates the wet western reaches from the arid interior.
History in Home Valley reflects a resilience forged in the shadow of the Wind River Experimental Forest, where the timber industry once dictated the pulse of daily life. Today, residents find a slower pace, moving between the rugged terrain near Shipherd Falls and the paths carved by the Wyeth Trail, where the scent of pine and wet stone lingers long after the mist clears. The economy remains tethered to the land’s natural bounty, though it has evolved into a quieter stewardship of the protected grounds within Lake Bonneville. Life proceeds with a deliberate stillness, marked by the rhythmic flow of the Columbia River and the persistent, quiet growth of a place that measures its time not in minutes, but in the gradual, seasonal transformation of the forest and the slow turning of the seasons.

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.
