How to Use This Latah, Washington Map

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

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.

Latah occupies a quiet expanse of the Palouse, where the earth hums with the slow, deliberate work of seasonal agriculture. It lies 24.3 miles southeast of Cheney, WA (from Cheney, WA: bearing 126°T), and is situated 29.0 miles south-southeast of Spokane. Cove Creek carves a thin, vital ribbon through the soil near the settlement, its waters moving with a persistent, low-voiced urgency that defines the local topography. To the north, the sharp silhouette of Gelbert Mountain rises against the sky, a silent sentinel watching over the undulating prairie that stretches toward the horizon. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, turning the fields a deep, burnished gold before the long shadows of the evening settle into the creases of the land.

Latah remains tied to the cycles of harvest and the patient labor of the inland plains, a place where the economy finds its pulse in the grain that yields to the combine. The history of these acres is written in the furrows of the fields and the sturdy architecture of early homesteading, reflecting a life lived in harmony with the vast, open sky. Residents often look toward the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area for a sense of wilder, untamed space, or find their way to the John Wayne Trail when they seek a path through the quiet solitude of the region. Life in Latah moves with the rhythm of the wind across the wheat, a steady, unadorned existence that finds its own quiet beauty in the stillness of the inland interior.

About This Latah Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Latah, Washington. Coordinates: 47.281564, -117.155461. 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 Latah includes the ZIP code (99018), telephone area code (509), county seat of Spokane County (Spokane), and school district assignment (Liberty 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.
