Explore Riverside, 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 Riverside, 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 Riverside.
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.

Riverside anchors itself firmly upon the low-slung, verdant plains that stretch toward the horizon, defined by the steady, persistent pulse of the South Fork Stillaguamish River just a mile away. It lies 7.4 miles north-northeast of Lake Stevens, WA (from Lake Stevens, WA: bearing 23°T), and is situated 9.6 miles northwest of Snohomish County. The air here holds a consistent, damp weight, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp earth that marks the transition between the dense, shadowy woodlands and the open, light-drenched fields. While the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms far to the east like a faded charcoal sketch, the immediate landscape of Riverside remains dominated by the quiet intensity of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it filters through the canopy in thin, slanted shafts, turning the morning mist into a pale, shifting veil that clings to the moss-covered trunks of ancient timber.
Riverside carries the quiet, unassuming history of those who first cleared these thickets to work the timber and turn the stubborn soil. The local economy persists in a slow, deliberate rhythm, favoring the steady labor of forestry and small-scale agriculture over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Life in Riverside moves with the seasons, from the heavy, grey rains that soften the forest floor to the brief, golden heat of summer when residents might travel seven miles to catch the light on the surface of Lake Stevens. Even as the modern world pushes at the edges, the character of the place remains tethered to the land, an enduring patience that persists long after the logging trucks have finished their daily transit. It is a quiet existence, marked by the call of raptors circling above the clearings and the knowledge that the wilderness is never truly distant, but always waiting just beyond the tree line.

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.
