How to Use This Alpine, California Map

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

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 Alpine, California

Alpine is a locality in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It has a population of 14,696. The population density is 211.8 people per km². Alpine is located at 32.8425°N, 116.7559°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 93550, 95490, 91901.

Alpine emerges from the arid, sun-bleached expanse where the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct carves a deliberate, concrete path through the dry earth. It lies 2.7 miles north-northeast of Vincent, CA (from Vincent, CA: bearing 12°T), and is situated 2.8 miles south-southeast of Palmdale. The landscape around Alpine is defined by the stark, ochre-hued ridges of the San Gabriel Mountains that hold the distant horizon in a jagged, hazy grip. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Lake Palmdale provide a rare, reflective contrast to the surrounding scrubland and the persistent, golden heat that settles over the Anaverde Valley. Toward the brushy edges of the Angeles National Forest, the air grows thin and carries the scent of sun-baked resin, creating a stillness that feels both ancient and remarkably heavy under the midday sun.

Tejon Equestrian Park serves as a central anchor for the local rhythm, where the steady clatter of hooves replaces the mechanical hum of more hurried places. The economy here remains tethered to the land and the strategic movement of resources, with the infrastructure of the aqueduct standing as a silent, industrial spine that dictates the flow of development. History in Alpine is written in the stubborn persistence of those who worked the dusty soil and navigated the rugged topography long before the modern grid arrived. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, favoring the slow accumulation of dust on fence posts and the long, amber shadows that stretch across the plains as the light begins to fail.

About This Alpine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alpine, California. Coordinates: 32.842487, -116.755911. 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 Alpine includes the ZIP code (93550, 95490, 91901), telephone area code (408, 669, 949), county seat of Los Angeles County (Los Angeles), and school district assignment (Grossmont Union High 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.
