Explore Roosevelt, 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 Roosevelt, 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 Roosevelt.
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.

Roosevelt claims a quiet portion of the landscape where the steady pulse of Whatcom Creek carves a path through the earth, marking the land with its persistent, cool flow. It lies 1.7 miles east of Bellingham, WA (from Bellingham, WA: bearing 93°T), and is situated 8.8 miles southeast of Ferndale. The moisture-heavy air here carries the scent of damp cedar and salt, a reminder that the expansive blue of Puget Sound waits only a mile away. To the east, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the horizon, standing in stark contrast to the low-lying, verdant terrain that surrounds Roosevelt. Within this neighborhood, the Roosevelt Neighborhood Park serves as a green anchor, offering a patch of managed wilderness where the light filters through the canopy in muted, shifting shades of gray and emerald. Not far off, the still surface of Sunset Pond reflects the heavy, overcast skies, providing a mirror to the quietude that defines the daily movement of the residents.
The history of Roosevelt is etched into the modest architecture and the thoughtful layout of its streets, which grew alongside the regional industries that once relied on the proximity of the water for transport and trade. Today, the economy leans into a blend of local professional services and the steady, rhythmic life of a coastal-adjacent community that values its connection to the natural world. Life in Roosevelt maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal turn of the tides and the long, literate PNW winters, where the interior warmth of homes contrasts sharply with the mist-laden outdoors. Residents often spend their weekends navigating toward the nearby Lummi Flats or gazing out toward the distant shape of Chuckanut Island, finding a sense of place in the intersection of tidal currents and the steady, enduring geography of the region.

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.
