How to Use This La Grande, Washington Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Grande, 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 La Grande.
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 La Grande, Washington
La Grande is a locality in Pierce County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 121. The population density is 11.0 people per km². La Grande is located at 46.8107°N, 122.2833°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 98328, 98348.La Grande occupies a quiet reach of land where the Nisqually River carves a persistent, cold path through the deepening shadows of the timber country. It lies 15.1 miles south of Graham, WA (from Graham, WA: bearing 184°T), and is situated 3.4 miles southwest of Eatonville. The landscape here is defined by the heavy, damp weight of the woods, where the Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental and Demonstration Forest blankets the terrain in a thick, evergreen silence that stretches toward the horizon. Only seventy-seven miles to the east, the Cascade Range rises in a jagged, pale silhouette against the sky, a distant boundary that seems to hold the weather in place. Near the town, the ground rises toward the gentle, open expanses of Mashel Prairie, while the nearby La Grande Reservoir holds the stillness of the afternoon light, reflecting the gray, low-hanging clouds that define the regional mood.
Human presence in La Grande remains tethered to the rhythm of the surrounding silviculture and the industrial legacy of the river, which has long powered the movement of timber through these valleys. The influence of the Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental and Demonstration Forest is felt in the steady, methodical pace of the local economy, where the land is studied and harvested with a quiet, generational focus. Explorers often find their way toward the nearby Little Mashel Falls, where the water spills over the rock in a constant, rhythmic tumble that echoes the persistent motion of the Nisqually River. Life in La Grande holds the character of a place that values the weight of the forest over the noise of the modern world, maintaining a modest, grounded existence beneath the sprawling canopy of the Pacific Northwest.

About This La Grande Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Grande, Washington. Coordinates: 46.810734, -122.283253. 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 La Grande includes the ZIP code (98328, 98348), telephone area code (425), county seat of Pierce County (Tacoma), and school district assignment (Eatonville 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.
