How to Use This Selah, Washington Map

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

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.

Selah occupies a high, arid expanse where the sunlight seems to sharpen the edges of every basalt ridge and sagebrush stalk. It lies 3.8 miles north-northwest of Yakima, WA (from Yakima, WA: bearing 342°T), and is situated 5.4 miles northwest of Terrace Heights. The landscape is defined by the rugged geometry of Crusher Canyon, which carves a deep, stony path through the local terrain. Only a mile away, the Yakima River flows with a persistent, steady force that dictates the movement of moisture across the otherwise dry plains. On the western horizon, the distant, snow-dusted peaks of the Cascade Range provide a permanent, cool backdrop to the heat of the afternoon. At the center of the local geography, Wixon Park offers a quiet space where the town’s residents gather under the shade of trees that contrast with the surrounding desert scrub.

Selah grew from the necessity of harnessing the earth for agriculture, transforming a dusty plateau into a landscape defined by rows of fruit trees. The local economy remains deeply tied to the rhythms of the orchard industry, where the seasonal cycle of harvest dictates the tempo of commerce. Generations of laborers and growers have refined the art of irrigation, coaxing abundance from soil that would otherwise remain dormant under the intense sun. Warehouses and packing facilities stand as quiet monuments to this productivity, processing the apples and cherries that define the regional output. This history of cultivation has left Selah with a pragmatic, industrious character that values hard work and the tangible results of a successful growing season.

Selah maintains a modest, steady cultural identity that favors the quietude of small-town life over the frantic pace of larger urban centers. Community gatherings often center on local high school sports, where the spirit of the student body brings a palpable energy to the bleachers on crisp autumn evenings. While the town remains humble, it has seen the influence of figures like the legendary basketball coach Mel Thompson, whose dedication shaped the character of generations of young athletes. Life here proceeds with a deliberate, unhurried focus, punctuated by the shifting colors of the orchards as they transition from spring blossoms to autumn yield. Evening light often bathes the valley in a soft, golden hue, highlighting the simple connection between the residents and the land they inhabit.
