Explore Parker, 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 Parker, 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 Parker.
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.

Parker marks a quiet convergence of high desert earth and the persistent, quiet work of irrigation that defines the broader basin. It lies 7.2 miles south-southeast of Yakima, WA (from Yakima, WA: bearing 165°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south of Terrace Heights. The landscape around Parker stretches out in broad, sun-bleached plains, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cascade Range that anchors the western sky. Only a mile away, Wanity Slough cuts a low, muted path through the sagebrush, its waters moving with a deliberate, sluggish patience that mirrors the stillness of the afternoon. The light here has a sharp, clarifying quality, turning the dust of the fields into a fine, golden haze that lingers long after the sun begins its slow descent toward the jagged peaks in the distance.
Agriculture serves as the pulse of Parker, a rhythm dictated by the seasonal demand of orchards and the steady labor required to maintain the productivity of the nearby Moxee Valley. Long-standing family plots and industrial tracts share the soil, creating a patchwork of greenery that contrasts against the arid, scrub-covered hillsides. Residents often find a moment of reprieve at the I-82 Ponds, a serene expanse where the water mirrors the shifting colors of the sky, offering a stark, natural counterpoint to the orderly rows of crops. While the pace of daily existence remains tethered to the harvest and the maintenance of the land, there is a quiet, enduring character to Parker, found in the way the wind hums through the brush and the absolute silence that settles over the fields when the work is finally done for the day.

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.
