How to Use This Mica, Washington Map

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

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.

About Mica, Washington

Mica is a locality in Spokane County, Washington, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,100. The population density is 65.0 people per km². Mica is located at 47.5560°N, 117.2121°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 99023.

Mica emerges from the expansive, sun-drenched plateau as a quiet intersection of earth and sky, defined by the persistent, quiet passage of Chester Creek. It lies 7.0 miles south of Veradale, WA (from Veradale, WA: bearing 186°T), and is situated 8.2 miles south of Spokane Valley. The landscape here is characterized by broad, open swales and steady, wind-swept plains that reach toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Red Hog ridge. During the late afternoon, the light takes on a peculiar, honeyed thickness, casting long shadows across the fields and highlighting the fine, dusty texture of the soil. Only six miles away, the waters of Dosser Reservoir hold a mirror to the vast, cloud-streaked heavens, while the nearby Saltese Flats offer a low-lying contrast to the elevated, firm ground upon which Mica rests. A short distance to the north, the quiet trails of Morrow Park provide a sanctuary for local flora, marking a transition point where the cultivated fields give way to more rugged, untamed brush.

History in Mica is written in the stubborn endurance of the railroad and the persistent cultivation of the surrounding acreage, which has long served as the backbone of the local economy. The ground itself, rich in minerals and clay, once invited prospectors and laborers to extract the very components that gave the locality its name, leaving behind a legacy of industry that has slowly softened into a life of agricultural focus. Daily existence moves at a deliberate pace, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the demands of the harvest rather than the frantic tempo of urban centers. Residents maintain a deep, unspoken familiarity with the land, recognizing the subtle shifts in the wind that signal a change in the weather or the ripening of the crops. Despite the encroachment of modern transit, Mica retains a distinct, sturdy identity, anchored by the remnants of its industrial past and the quiet, steady rhythm of a life lived close to the soil.

About This Mica Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mica, Washington. Coordinates: 47.556007, -117.212145. 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 Mica includes the ZIP code (99023), telephone area code (509), county seat of Spokane County (Spokane), and school district assignment.

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.
