Explore Maple Valley, 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 Maple Valley, 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 Maple Valley.
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.

Maple Valley anchors a landscape defined by the quiet progression of forested ridges and the persistent, life-giving flow of the Cedar River. It lies 4.3 miles northeast of Covington, WA (from Covington, WA: bearing 56°T), and is situated 8.9 miles east of Kent. The terrain here rises in gentle swells of earth, blanketed by deep stands of evergreen that turn a muted, silver-toned gray under the persistent regional clouds. Wilderness Lake sits nearby, its surface often mirroring the heavy sky in a stillness that seems to hold the breath of the surrounding woods. To the east, the distant silhouette of the Cascade Range looms as a jagged, atmospheric boundary against the horizon. The Green To Cedar Rivers Trail Site provides an immediate connection to this land, offering paths that follow the natural contours of the basin.
Maple Valley grew from the labor of early industrial pioneers who harvested the dense timber and worked the coal seams that once defined the regional economy. These workers built their lives around the rhythmic extraction of natural resources, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that persists even as the local focus has shifted toward modern professional life. The town carries the quiet weight of those earlier eras, where the smell of sawdust and damp earth once signaled the primary pulse of the community. Today, the economy has diversified into a blend of service sectors and small-scale commerce that supports a growing residential population. This transition from raw extraction to suburban stability has redefined the daily habits of those who reside here, blending a memory of hard manual work with the ease of contemporary life.
Maple Valley fosters a cultural character defined by an appreciation for the outdoors, where the proximity to Tiger Mountain State Forest invites residents into the deep, shaded quiet of the wilderness. The Tiger Mountain Trail offers a strenuous escape for those seeking to traverse the rugged terrain located just a few miles away. During the autumn months, the air holds a crisp, clean clarity that sharpens the edges of the Green River Gorge, drawing hikers and observers to the dramatic drop of the landscape. Life here moves at a pace dictated by the seasonal light, which filters through the canopy to create long, shifting shadows across the local parks. While the region remains largely understated, the presence of the natural world serves as the primary landmark for all who call Maple Valley their own.

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.
