How to Use This Paterson, Washington Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Paterson, 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 Paterson.
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 Paterson, Washington
Paterson is a locality in Benton County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 380. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Paterson is located at 45.9371°N, 119.6028°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 99350, 99345.Paterson stretches across a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the high desert air carries the faint, dry scent of sagebrush and warming earth. It lies 26.0 miles south-southeast of Grandview, WA (from Grandview, WA: bearing 146°T), and is situated 8.2 miles northeast of Boardman. The landscape is defined by a rigorous, horizontal geometry, marked by the expansive surface of Lake Umatilla and the steady, insistent presence of the Columbia River carving its path through the arid floor. While the distant Cascade Range remains a jagged, violet suggestion on the western horizon, the immediate topography is dominated by the stark, open plains and the sudden, shadowed depth of Bing Canyon. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular quality, turning the brown grasses to a deep, burnished gold that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the ridgeline.
Paterson functions as a quiet engine of agricultural productivity, its rhythm dictated by the seasonal requirements of large-scale viticulture and the careful management of irrigated rows that stand in sharp contrast to the surrounding scrub. Much of the land falls under the stewardship of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area, ensuring that the wilder edges of the terrain remain preserved against the encroachment of industry. The history of Paterson is one of persistent adaptation, where the transformation of dry, basaltic earth into thriving vineyards reflects a local endurance that favors utility and growth over ornamentation. Life in Paterson moves with the steady, unadorned pace of a place where the primary dialogue is between the labor of the hands and the capacity of the soil to yield a harvest.

About This Paterson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Paterson, Washington. Coordinates: 45.937077, -119.602804. 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 Paterson includes the ZIP code (99350, 99345), telephone area code (509), county seat of Benton County (Prosser), 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.
