How to Use This Touchet, Washington Map

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

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.

About Touchet, Washington

Touchet is a locality in Walla Walla County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 425. The population density is 135.1 people per km². Touchet is located at 46.0399°N, 118.6722°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 99360.

Touchet occupies a quiet expanse of the Columbia Basin, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky asserts itself over the low-slung plains. It lies 8.8 miles west of Whitman, WA (from Whitman, WA: bearing 267°T), and is situated 15.9 miles west of Walla Walla. The Touchet River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its waters feeding the verdant strips that break the monotony of the dry, sun-bleached earth. Ash Hollow lies just a mile away, a subtle depression in the topography that catches the shifting light of afternoon. In the far distance, the Blue Mountains rise like jagged, violet ink stains against the pale sky, anchoring a vista that feels both immense and intensely private. The air here carries a dry, parched weight, smelling faintly of dust and the cooling soil as the sun retreats behind the western rise.

Agriculture defines the pulse of Touchet, with deep irrigation lines and sprawling fields turning the arid basin into a productive grid of seasonal color. The local economy relies on this fertile labor, a heritage tied to the soil that inhabitants have worked for generations. Residents find a distinct solitude in the space between the White Reservoir and the nearby Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area, where the land remains largely untamed by modern encroachment. Life in Touchet moves with a steady, pragmatic gravity, indifferent to the frenetic pace of the outer world. It is a place where the quietude is not an absence of sound, but a presence of wind moving through dry grasses and the persistent, low-frequency hum of a landscape committed to its own slow, seasonal cycle.

About This Touchet Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Touchet, Washington. Coordinates: 46.039857, -118.672208. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Touchet includes the ZIP code (99360), telephone area code (509), county seat of Walla Walla County (Walla Walla), and school district assignment (Touchet School District).

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.
