Explore Port Angeles, 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 Port Angeles, 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 Port Angeles.
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.

Port Angeles occupies a narrow shelf of land where the pulse of the tide meets the edge of the deep timber. It lies 17.0 miles east of Clallam, WA (from Clallam, WA: bearing 89°T), and is situated 3.0 miles west-northwest of Port Angeles East. Peabody Creek carves a brisk, clear path through the urban landscape, carrying the cool breath of the high country down toward the salt water. To the south, the massive, jagged silhouettes of the Olympic Mountains dominate the horizon, their peaks often holding a stubborn, silver light long after the streets below have slipped into shadow. The proximity to Puget Sound defines the daily rhythm here, where the air remains perpetually heavy with the scent of brine and damp cedar. On the northern boundary, Hollywood Beach offers a quiet stretch of shoreline where the gray, restless waters of the sound churn against the pebbles.
Port Angeles emerged as a hub for maritime trade and timber, drawing its strength from the dense, verdant resources of the surrounding landscape. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the Pacific Ranger District, where the harvest of wood once fueled the steady turning of the local mills. Today, the town balances these traditional industries with a growing focus on maritime services and the quiet, steady commerce of a gateway port. Beyond the harbor, the influence of the nearby Eden Valley suggests a history tied to the fertile, sheltered pockets of the lowlands. Even as the industries have evolved, the town maintains a rugged, utilitarian character that reflects its long commitment to the bounty of the land and the sea.
Port Angeles carries a quiet, introspective cultural identity shaped by the isolation of the peninsula and the towering presence of the wilderness. Residents often find their way to the Lake Creek Trail for a measured walk through the ferns, or look toward the distant, frozen expanse of the Fairchild Glacier when the clouds peel back from the high ridges. The Port Angeles Reservoir provides a still, dark mirror to the sky, serving as a point of reflection for those who live in the shadow of the peaks. Among the notable figures who have spent time in this region, the writer Raymond Carver remains the most enduring presence, his spare, honest prose mirroring the unadorned beauty of the coastal life. Local gatherings frequently turn toward the water, where the arrival of the ferry marks the passage of time as surely as the turning of the seasons.

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.
