How to Use This Anza, California Map

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

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 Anza, California

Anza is a locality in Imperial County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,075. The population density is 43.0 people per km². Anza is located at 33.5616°N, 116.6961°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 92243, 92539.

Anza occupies a high, arid plateau where the light at dusk bleeds into a bruised, copper intensity against the dry grass. It lies 3.8 miles east of El Centro, CA (from El Centro, CA: bearing 81°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north of Calexico. The terrain is a landscape of sun-bleached plains and sparse, hardy vegetation that stretches toward a horizon defined by the distant, jagged silhouette of Deer Peak. Anza sits seventy-eight miles from the coast, far removed from the dampening influence of any marine layer, leaving the air thin, sharp, and prone to the extremes of an inland climate. To the north, the land slopes toward the path of the Alamo River, a slender artery cutting through the parched soil, while the nearby expanse of Gomez Park offers a quiet sanctuary of native scrub and brush.

Anza carries the weight of a frontier history, its character forged by the slow, deliberate pace of agricultural life and the rugged independence of those who settled the high desert. The local economy persists through cattle ranching and small-scale farming, tasks performed under a sky that remains indifferent to the labor of men. Life in Anza moves in accordance with the seasons, from the brittle, tinder-dry heat of summer to the crisp, biting cold of winter evenings when the stars emerge with a clarity that feels almost heavy. Residents look toward the distant presence of Ramer Lake as a marker of the wider geography, yet the focus remains on the immediate, dusty reality of the plateau. Anza exists as a place where the silence is not an absence of sound, but a presence that settles over the acreage long after the work of the day has ceased.

About This Anza Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Anza, California. Coordinates: 33.56159, -116.696066. 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 Anza includes the ZIP code (92243, 92539), telephone area code (714, 909), county seat of Imperial County (El Centro), and school district assignment (Hemet Unified 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.
