Explore Alpaugh, California, 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 Alpaugh, California. 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 California 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 Alpaugh.
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.

Alpaugh emerges from the flat, expansive basin of the Central Valley, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 15.1 miles south-southeast of Corcoran, CA (from Corcoran, CA: bearing 164°T), and is situated 15.8 miles west-northwest of Delano. The landscape around Alpaugh is defined by the absolute stillness of the plains, a vast expanse of agricultural fields that shimmer under the relentless heat of the sun, punctuated only by the occasional line of trees or the stark geometry of irrigation ditches. A mile away, the Homeland Canal cuts a precise, utilitarian path through the soil, its water a vital thread in an environment that remains intensely arid and removed from the softening influence of the distant Sierra Nevada, which ghosts the eastern horizon in a faint, jagged outline. Residents find a quiet gathering place at Alpaugh Park, a space that offers a modest reprieve from the open, sun-bleached expanse that characterizes the surrounding geography.
History clings to the dust of the region, echoing a time when the dreams of reclamation and the promise of fertile soil drew settlers to these interior reaches. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the land, with the labor of the harvest and the maintenance of the fields dictating the pulse of daily life. While Lake Woollomes sits twenty miles distant, the life of the inhabitants is governed more immediately by the presence of ground water and the seasonal shift of crops that turn the fields from shades of dusty brown to vibrant green. There is a singular, unadorned beauty in the way the light catches the irrigation spray at dusk, casting long, lean shadows across the earth and highlighting the resilience of a life built upon the plains. The character of the people is forged in this space, reflecting a straightforward endurance that matches the stark, honest clarity of the valley floor.

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.
