Explore North Puyallup, 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 North Puyallup, 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 North Puyallup.
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.

North Puyallup unfolds where the steady, silver-grey current of Simons Creek carves a low passage through the earth, marking the land with a persistent, liquid pulse. It lies 1.6 miles north-northeast of Puyallup, WA (from Puyallup, WA: bearing 19°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-southeast of Tacoma. The air here holds the damp, heavy scent of cedar and peat, a lingering humidity that clings to the skin even when the sun manages to pierce the persistent, low-hanging clouds. To the east, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms like a faded ink wash against the horizon, anchoring the wide, expansive sky. Five miles away, the salt-heavy breezes from Commencement Bay drift inland, cooling the soil and softening the edges of the evergreen canopy that blankets the surrounding slopes. The terrain remains modest and functional, a series of gradual, green-shadowed inclines that lead the eye toward the distant, muted blue of Lake Tapps, which rests quietly in the basin four miles to the south.
North Puyallup carries the quiet weight of a region shaped by the steady labor of timber and harvest, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the movement of the tides and the long, slow growth of the forest. The local economy finds its footing in the intersection of industry and the natural world, with residents often finding work that honors the legacy of the land, whether through the transport of goods or the careful stewardship of the nearby Riverwalk Trail. On quiet mornings, one can walk the paths near the water and feel the stillness that defines the area, a sense of isolation that is neither lonely nor crowded, but simply present. While the bustle of the Puyallup Valley hums six miles away, life here remains tethered to the slow turn of the seasons, occasionally punctuated by the sight of Deer Island standing as a solitary sentinel in the distance, a reminder of the quiet, watery geography that defines the character of the place.

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.
