How to Use This Metaline, Washington Map

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

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.

Metaline claims a quiet, rugged corner of the landscape where the relentless push of Linton Creek carves a path through the earth, marking the pulse of the valley floor. It lies 28.8 miles north of Pend Oreille, WA (from Pend Oreille, WA: bearing 353°T), and is situated 31.5 miles northeast of Colville. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity that descends from the distant, jagged silhouette of the Selkirk Mountains, casting long, bruised shadows over the nearby Grandview Flats as the sun retreats. To the west, the expanse of the Colville National Forest presses close, its dense timber providing a dark, evergreen backdrop that feels both ancient and indifferent to the slow turning of the seasons. Only two miles distant, the still, reflective surface of Wolf Lake offers a mirror to the sky, while the seasonal roar of Pewee Falls echoes through the timber eight miles away, a hidden percussion in the silence of the woods.

Economic life in Metaline remains tethered to the stubborn, mineral-heavy ground that once lured prospectors to these slopes, leaving behind the skeletal remnants of a mining heritage that still colors the local character. While the industry has softened into a slower, more deliberate pace, the influence of the earth remains, seen in the weathered facades of buildings that seem to grow directly from the rocky soil. Residents move with the steady, unhurried gait of those accustomed to the isolation of the high terrain, finding their recreation along the rugged paths of the Terry Trail or within the vast, protected boundaries of the Colville National Forest. Life here is defined by a deep, quiet familiarity with the elements, where the transition from the golden light of late afternoon to the deep, star-pierced gray of evening serves as the primary clock for the day’s end.
