Explore Roslyn, 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 Roslyn, 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 Roslyn.
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.

Roslyn emerges from the shadows of the high, timbered ridges, defined by the persistent, clear movement of Crystal Creek as it winds through the rugged terrain. It lies 26.2 miles northwest of Ellensburg, WA (from Ellensburg, WA: bearing 307°T), and is situated 34.8 miles west-southwest of Wenatchee.
The atmosphere in Roslyn carries the scent of pine and damp earth, a reminder that the expansive Roslyn Urban Forest reaches right to the doorstep of the quiet streets. Cedar Gulch shapes the immediate basin, holding the town in a bowl of steep, pine-cloaked slopes that seem to compress the light as the sun slips behind the distant, jagged peaks of the Cascade Range. For those seeking the quietude of the backcountry, the Hicks Butte Trail offers a path into the wilderness, while the still waters of Bullfrog Pond reflect the heavy, gray skies that often settle over the landscape. On the far horizon, the silhouette of Sherpa Glacier remains a cold, silent sentinel, marking the elevated limits of a region defined by its distance from any moisture-heavy lowlands.
History clings to the wooden storefronts of Roslyn, a legacy carved out by the coal miners who once tunneled deep into the earth to drive the regional economy. The architecture remains a testament to the diverse ethnic threads of those who arrived to work the seams, leaving behind a character that feels sturdy, unpretentious, and deeply rooted in the heavy labor of the past. Today, the pace of life favors the deliberate; the morning light catches the weathered siding of old buildings, and the sound of the wind through the Naches Ranger District serves as a constant, low-frequency hum. While the mines have long since shuttered, the spirit of the place persists in the way the residents maintain their heritage, favoring the preservation of their distinct, mountain-bound identity over the rapid shifts of the modern world.

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.
