Explore Klickitat, 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 Klickitat, 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 Klickitat.
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.

Klickitat anchors itself firmly within the rugged, steep-walled confines of Snyder Canyon, where the Klickitat River carves a serpentine path through the basalt landscape. It lies 45.1 miles east-northeast of Skamania, WA (from Skamania, WA: bearing 72°T), and is situated 15.4 miles north of The Dalles. The air here holds a dry, mineral crispness, carrying the scent of parched earth and pine needles that cling to the canyon slopes. Sunlight hits the jagged rock faces during the late afternoon, turning the stone a deep, bruised copper before the shadows swallow the valley floor. Travelers following the Klickitat Trail find the ground underfoot shift from gravel to packed soil, tracing the old rail lines that once echoed with the industry of a different era. Six miles distant, the waters of Camp Five Spring remain quiet and still, a hidden basin tucked away from the main thoroughfare where the silence feels heavy and ancient.
Klickitat bears the marks of a timber and milling past, a legacy visible in the weathered foundations and the way the community clings to the river’s edge. While the heavy machinery of the mills has long since ceased its daily thunder, the rhythm of Klickitat remains tied to the land, defined by a quiet resilience and the slow turnover of the seasons. People here look toward the horizon, where the distant, snow-dusted peaks of the Cascade Range provide a permanent, hazy boundary against the sky. The economy has shifted from the raw extraction of timber to a more measured pace, reflecting a life that values the solitude of the canyon over the frantic speed of the lowlands. It is a place where the history of the railroad is not merely a memory, but a physical presence written into the rusted spikes and overgrown paths that crisscross the valley.

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.
