Explore Moclips, 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 Moclips, 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 Moclips.
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.

Moclips serves as a quiet threshold where the Moclips River completes its journey through thick evergreen corridors to dissolve into the restless Pacific. It lies 26.0 miles northwest of Aberdeen, WA (from Aberdeen, WA: bearing 314°T), and is situated 18.3 miles north of Ocean Shores. The landscape here is defined by the Seashore Conservation Area, a stretch of sand where the tide dictates the rhythm of the day, pulling back to reveal a wide, driftwood-strewn expanse under a heavy, muted sky. To the east, the land rises toward the distant, serrated spine of the Olympic Mountains, while the interior landscape is shaped by the subtle, low-lying basin of Baker Prairie. The air carries a constant, briny weight, and the quality of light at dusk possesses a silvery, diffused clarity that turns the tall grasses and wet cedar bark into shades of slate and charcoal.
Moclips carries the quiet residue of a history anchored in the timber trade, a legacy that once moved vast quantities of wood through these coastal outlets before the industry shifted its reach. While the economy has softened from its industrial peak, the pace of life remains tethered to the natural cycles of the coast, far removed from the busier industrial centers situated toward North Bay. Travelers seeking respite often find themselves wandering toward the serene silence of Carlisle Lakes, a nine-mile journey that offers a contrast to the rhythmic pounding of the surf. Moclips maintains a character shaped by isolation and the enduring influence of the rain, favoring a slow, deliberate existence that respects the raw, unyielding edges of the shoreline.

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.
