How to Use This Rice, Washington Map

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

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.

Rice anchors itself to the high, arid landscape where the waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake hold the sky in a mirror of deep, unmoving blue. It lies 39.1 miles west of Pend Oreille, WA (from Pend Oreille, WA: bearing 270°T), and is situated 15.3 miles east of Ferry. The earth here is defined by the sharp, dry clarity of the interior, where the horizon stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cascade Range. Cheweka Creek carves a quiet path through the terrain, its modest flow feeding the thirsty soil of Pleasant Valley before disappearing into the larger expanse of the reservoir. A mile away, the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area offers a buffer of protected wildness, where the golden light of late afternoon catches the tall, sun-bleached grasses and turns the ridges into burnished copper.

Rice persists as a quiet outpost of industry and agrarian memory, far removed from the damp, evergreen density of the coast. The local economy remains tethered to the land and the strategic presence of the water, a legacy of regional development that transformed the river valley into a vast, controlled basin. Life in Rice moves with the deliberate pace of those who work the soil or navigate the seasonal shifts of the reservoir, acknowledging the power of the landscape that once saw the rush of Rickey Rapids before the dam changed the river’s character forever. It is a place of long, quiet stretches where the silence is broken only by the wind moving through the sagebrush or the rare, distant hum of a vehicle navigating the winding roads that connect these scattered, resilient homesteads.
