How to Use This Arnold, California Map

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

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 Arnold, California

Arnold is a locality in Mendocino County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,288. The population density is 140.0 people per km². Arnold is located at 38.2486°N, 120.3510°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95490, 95223.

Arnold occupies a rugged expanse where the landscape deepens into dense woodland and high-altitude terrain, defined largely by the persistent, cold transit of Outlet Creek. It lies 27.3 miles north-northwest of Ukiah, CA (from Ukiah, CA: bearing 339°T), and is situated 7.8 miles north-northwest of Willits. {SYSTEM_NAVIGATION_SENTENCE} The air in Arnold carries a sharp, resinous chill, even in the height of the afternoon, as the shadows of the canopy stretch long and dark over the forest floor. To the west, one might catch a faint, hazy outline of the distant Coast Ranges, though the immediate world is dominated by the narrow, steep-walled silence of Reeves Canyon. A mile away, the protected expanse of Tomki Creek provides a quiet sanctuary for the native flora, while the earth itself feels brittle and ancient, waiting for the seasonal shift that turns the brush to tinder.

History in Arnold is measured less by grand monuments and more by the slow, iterative labor of those who carved a living from the timber and the soil. The local economy persists in a quiet rhythm, tethered to the land and the modest commerce that supports those who favor the seclusion of the interior over the frantic pace of the lowlands. Residents often find their way toward the Meadowlark Trail for a brief reprieve, or perhaps toward the quiet, glassy surface of Summer Lake when the heat presses against the pines. There is a singular, unvarnished quality to the way the light strikes the bark at dusk, a pale gold that lingers just long enough to remind one of the vast, indifferent wilderness that remains the true architect of life in these parts.

About This Arnold Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arnold, California. Coordinates: 38.248642, -120.350989. 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 Arnold includes the ZIP code (95490, 95223), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Mendocino County (Ukiah), and school district assignment (Bret Harte 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.
