How to Use This Kittitas, Washington Map

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

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.

Kittitas occupies a sprawling, sun-bleached expanse where the wind carries the persistent, dry scent of sagebrush and cured earth. It lies 6.2 miles east of Ellensburg, WA (from Ellensburg, WA: bearing 98°T), and is situated 26.7 miles north of Yakima. Cooke Creek cuts a persistent, winding path through the landscape, its presence marked by a thin ribbon of willow and dark, damp soil that offers a stark contrast to the surrounding golden grasses. To the west, the jagged, serrated silhouette of the Cascade Range looms against the horizon, acting as a colossal barrier that catches the passing clouds and forces them to surrender their moisture long before they reach the valley floor. The light here is sharp and unrelenting, bleaching the color from the wooden fences and casting long, indigo shadows across the plains as the sun slips behind the distant peaks.

Kittitas remains deeply tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, its economy historically anchored in the cultivation of timothy hay and the quiet industry of the high desert. Residents often traverse the Iron Horse, a SP that repurposes the old rail line into a thoroughfare for quiet contemplation and travel, tracing the path where trains once hauled the wealth of the interior toward the markets of the west. A few miles away, the rugged walls of Johnson Canyon rise abruptly, silent observers of the generations who have worked this soil, while the still, reflective surface of Tjossem Pond offers a momentary pause in the relentless expanse of the basin. Life in Kittitas moves with the deliberate pace of a season, defined by the turning of the soil and the quiet, persistent work of those who recognize the beauty in a landscape that demands both labor and respect.
