How to Use This Matlock, Washington Map

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

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.

Matlock asserts itself as a quiet expanse of timberland and rugged terrain, where the air holds the damp, heavy scent of cedar and pine needles. It lies 14.5 miles west of Shelton, WA (from Shelton, WA: bearing 276°T), and is situated 16.3 miles southwest of Mason. The landscape is defined by a series of dense woodlands that act as a buffer between the interior reaches and the distant, jagged silhouette of the Olympic Mountains visible on the far horizon. Within this verdant sprawl, the landscape dips toward the path of Dry Bed Creek, a narrow waterway that carves a modest line through the brush, while the stillness of Nahwatzel Lake provides a reflective depth to the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate tree lines, the earth rises and falls with a sturdy, unadorned character, maintaining a sense of isolation that feels both ancient and enduring under the heavy, low-hanging clouds of the region.

Matlock traces its roots to the labor-intensive legacy of the timber industry, a history still etched into the way the local economy leans toward the stewardship and harvest of the surrounding landscape. The proximity to the Olympic National Forest means that the rhythm of daily life is dictated by the slow, seasonal shifts of the woods rather than the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents often find quiet recreation along the Bingham Creek Trail or within the preserved borders of Truman Glick Memorial Park, where the forest canopy provides a sanctuary from the open expanse of Carstairs Prairie nearby. This is a place where the work of the day is often measured by the clearing of brush or the maintenance of property, fostering a culture of self-reliance that remains largely indifferent to the encroaching influence of modern sprawl.
