How to Use This Inchelium, Washington Map

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

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.

About Inchelium, Washington

Inchelium is a locality in Ferry County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 431. The population density is 6.3 people per km². Inchelium is located at 48.3637°N, 118.2456°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 99138.

Inchelium occupies a quiet, rugged expanse where the earth rises into timbered slopes and descends toward the vast, still waters of Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. It lies 33.9 miles north-northeast of Lincoln, WA (from Lincoln, WA: bearing 17°T), and is situated 18.3 miles southeast of Ferry. The landscape is defined by the steady, persistent flow of Stranger Creek, which carves its path through the terrain just before feeding into the basin. To the west, the horizon holds the distant, shadowed silhouette of the Cascade Range, a reminder of the vast interior geography that separates these woods from the damp coast. Near the stillness of Butler Flat, the land feels ancient and heavy with the scent of pine and dry, sun-baked earth, where the light at dusk settles in long, amber strips across the needles of the forest floor.

Inchelium serves as a central point for the Colville Indian Reservation, carrying a history that predates the modern impoundment of the water. The local economy and daily rhythm are tethered to the management of the land and the stewardship of the surrounding environment, with the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area providing a gateway to the expansive wilderness nearby. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, shaped by the needs of the forest and the quiet commerce of a people who have long understood the necessity of adapting to the shifting water levels of the reservoir. It is a place where the modern world feels distant, replaced by the specific, resonant silence of a high-latitude inland woodland.

About This Inchelium Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Inchelium, Washington. Coordinates: 48.36374, -118.245596. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Inchelium includes the ZIP code (99138), telephone area code (509), county seat of Ferry County (Republic), and school district assignment (Inchelium School District).

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.
