How to Use This Palisades, Washington Map

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

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 Palisades, Washington

Palisades is a locality in Douglas County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 120. The population density is 4.0 people per km². Palisades is located at 47.4190°N, 119.9145°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 98845.

Palisades emerges from the arid, sun-bleached expanse of the high desert, where the land breaks into steep, craggy bluffs that define the horizon. It lies 14.6 miles south-southeast of Douglas, WA (from Douglas, WA: bearing 163°T), and is situated 18.5 miles east of Wenatchee. Douglas Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the basalt, its waters providing a vital ribbon of green against the dun-colored sagebrush and exposed rock. To the west, the jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms in the distance, a cool, shadowed boundary that separates this dry interior from the damp forests beyond. Only a mile away, the rugged topography of Petrified Canyon offers a stark reminder of the deep geological clockwork at play, while the light at dusk softens the sharp edges of the cliffs, turning the earth a bruised, contemplative purple.

Palisades maintains a quiet existence tethered to the rhythms of the earth, its past written in the debris of ancient flows and the quiet industry of those who work the soil. The nearby Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area serves as a steward for the surrounding scrubland, preserving the austere character of the plains for the hawks and the wind. While the pace of life here is measured by the seasonal demands of agriculture and the slow drift of clouds, the proximity of Rattlesnake Springs offers a rare, singular gathering point for the thirsty landscape. Life in Palisades remains grounded in the physical reality of the soil, a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the dry rustle of grass and the occasional, distant call of a coyote marking the transition from day to night.
