Explore Pullman, 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 Pullman, 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 Pullman.
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.

Pullman rests upon an expansive landscape where the South Fork Palouse River carves a path through the earth, defining the rhythm of the terrain. It lies 8.5 miles west of Moscow, ID (from Moscow, ID: bearing 270°T), and is situated 13.5 miles southeast of Colfax. {NAVIGATION} The land surrounding Pullman stretches into vast, undulating fields of wheat, creating a horizon that feels infinite under the wide, pale sky. Five miles away, the quiet depression of Stratton Hollow offers a subtle variation in the topography, while the slopes near Smoot Hill rise seven miles distant to anchor the view. Scouts Park provides a modest, essential green space for those who walk the ground, grounding the locality in a persistent, quiet stillness. As dusk settles, the light flattens against the soil, turning the vast agricultural plains into a deep, muted copper that lingers long after the sun has vanished.
Agriculture has long served as the bedrock of the economy, with the fertile soil of the region dictating the cycles of harvest and industry for generations. Pullman grew from early settlement roots into a center where the study of agrarian science and technological innovation now dictates the pace of life. The local economy remains tethered to the pulse of the university, which draws a steady current of students and researchers into the center of the region. This focus on education and crop production creates a steady, predictable hum of activity that persists through the seasons. Workers and thinkers alike navigate a life defined by the harvest, moving between the laboratories and the sprawling fields that define the regional identity.
Pullman maintains a character defined by the intellectual energy of Washington State University, which serves as the primary cultural anchor for the entire population. The campus landscape hosts notable landmarks that stand as points of pride, while the spirit of competitive athletics draws large crowds to witness the rhythm of college sports. Among those who have shaped the public consciousness, individuals like the journalist Edward R. Murrow once walked these streets, their early lives marked by the quiet, inland atmosphere of the region. Local events often center on the academic calendar, creating a cyclical social life that shifts with the arrival and departure of each new class. The culture is one of pragmatic, grounded resilience, reflecting the stark, honest beauty of the plains that surround every corner of the locality.

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.
