How to Use This McKenna, Washington Map

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

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.

McKenna holds the steady, quiet rhythm of a place defined by the insistent, cold pull of the Nisqually River. It lies 2.4 miles east-southeast of Yelm, WA (from Yelm, WA: bearing 102°T), and is situated 2.9 miles southeast of North Yelm. The landscape here is characterized by the flat, expansive reach of the Yelm Prairie, where the earth seems to exhale under the weight of an expansive sky. Three miles to the north, the waters of McKenzie Lake reflect the low-hanging clouds that drift inland from the west, while the distant, serrated edge of the Cascade Range haunts the eastern horizon like a jagged promise. The air in McKenna carries the sharp, clean scent of damp soil and conifers, a reminder that the deep, shadowed woods are never far from the cleared fields that mark the transition between the valley floor and the surrounding high ground.

Mekenna Park serves as the local anchor, a patch of green that grounds the community amidst the intersection of timber history and the modern commute. The economy of McKenna has long pivoted on the transit of goods and the labor of those working the surrounding forests and fields, evolving from its early days as a mill hub into a quiet corridor of passage. There is a distinct, unadorned honesty to the way the sunlight strikes the bridge over the river at dusk, turning the water into a ribbon of hammered lead. Life in McKenna moves in sync with the passage of vehicles heading toward the larger regional centers, yet the pace remains tethered to the slow growth of the prairie grass and the seasonal swelling of the riverbanks.
