How to Use This Underwood, Washington Map

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

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.

Underwood anchors a steep, emerald incline where the White Salmon River carves its final, hurried path toward the vast, carved corridor of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It lies 26.1 miles east-northeast of Skamania, WA (from Skamania, WA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 1.7 miles north of Hood River. The air here holds a crisp, pressurized quality, filtered by high basalt cliffs that trap the morning mist until the sun manages to burn it into long, translucent ribbons of vapor. Dense woodlands of Douglas fir and bigleaf maple crowd the slopes, their roots anchoring the dark, volcanic soil that gives way to the expansive, open vistas of the Hood River Valley just across the water. Lake Bonneville reflects the changing temper of the sky, its surface acting as a silent, liquid mirror to the shifting light that defines this rugged, inland terrain.

Underwood emerged from the necessity of timber and the hard labor of the early rail lines, transforming over generations from a rugged transit point into a quiet enclave of orchardists and outdoor enthusiasts. The local economy persists in a delicate balance between the cultivation of hillside crops and the seasonal pulse of visitors drawn to the wilder currents of the river. Life in Underwood follows the slow, deliberate tempo of the seasons, marked by the scent of ripening fruit in the late summer heat and the deep, damp silence of winter. For those who wander, the Wygant Trail offers a rigorous ascent into the quietude of the hills, while the distant, snow-dusted peaks of the Cascade Range serve as a permanent, jagged horizon line, reminding every resident of the immense geological weight pressing down upon this narrow, verdant shelf of land.

About This Underwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Underwood, Washington. Coordinates: 45.729564, -121.526184. 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 Underwood includes the ZIP code (98651), telephone area code (360), county seat of Skamania County (Stevenson), and school district assignment.

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.
