Explore Wapato Point, 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 Wapato Point, 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 Wapato Point.
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.

Wapato Point extends as a rugged finger of earth into the deep, glacier-carved blue of Lake Chelan, anchoring the land against the relentless push of the water. It lies 18.7 miles north-northwest of Douglas, WA (from Douglas, WA: bearing 338°T), and is situated 6.9 miles west-northwest of Chelan. The air here holds a distinct, dry clarity, smelling of sun-warmed stone and the faint, sweet respiration of distant orchards that thrive in the arid basin. To the west, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouettes of the Cascade Range loom on the horizon, a formidable wall that keeps the damp weather at bay and leaves this landscape to bake under a high, unwavering sun. Nearby, the terrain folds into the shadowed depths of Purtteman Gulch, while the gentle flow of First Creek offers a quiet contrast to the vast, stillness of the lake. Wandering near the modest boundaries of Singleton Park, one feels the weight of the silence, broken only by the thin, rhythmic rustle of dry grasses swaying in the afternoon heat.
History permeates the soil of Wapato Point, where the legacy of fruit cultivation and seasonal harvest defines the rhythm of the local economy. Farmers have long coaxed life from this thirsty ground, turning the surrounding plains into a patchwork of productivity that stands in stark relief against the wilder, scrub-covered hillsides. Residents and visitors alike often find their days measured by the slope of the sun, whether they are spending hours navigating the terrain near the Devils Backbone Trailbike Loop Trail or simply watching the light turn a bruised, metallic gold over the water as dusk settles. Life at Wapato Point moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, favoring the steady work of the seasons over the frantic pace of the outside world. It is a place of hard edges and soft horizons, where the land and the lake engage in a slow, ancient dialogue that continues long after the shadows have claimed the shore.

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.
