How to Use This Avery, California Map

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

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 Avery, California

Avery is a locality in Calaveras County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 636. The population density is 116.7 people per km². Avery is located at 38.2044°N, 120.3699°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95224.

Avery occupies a quiet elevation where the air thins and carries the sharp, resinous scent of evergreen needles. It lies 39.9 miles northeast of Oakdale, CA (from Oakdale, CA: bearing 41°T), and is situated 4.5 miles south-southwest of White Pines. The landscape surrounding Avery is defined by the dense, rugged expanse of the Stanislaus National Forest, which envelopes the locality in a deep, verdant solitude. To the east, the jagged silhouette of the Sierra Nevada rises against the horizon like a serrated blade, while closer at hand, the terrain softens into the gentle depression of Forest Meadow. Water moves through the landscape with purpose, as Mill Creek carves its path through the rocky soil, and the calm, reflective surface of Hunter Reservoir offers a still point against the backdrop of rising timber. As the sun dips toward the western ridges, the light takes on a bruised, amber quality, casting long shadows that emphasize the texture of the bark and the uneven earth.

Avery preserves a pace of life dictated by the shifting seasons rather than the demands of the clock, a legacy of its roots in the rugged timber and mining industries that first drew settlers to these hills. While the roar of heavy machinery has long since faded into a memory, the economy remains tethered to the land, supported by a mix of forestry stewardship and a modest, self-reliant local trade. Those who wander the Timber Trails find themselves walking paths worn by generations of loggers and explorers, connecting the present moment to the quiet, persistent history of the high country. Life here is measured in the steady growth of the pines and the seasonal rhythms of the forest, creating a stable, unpretentious existence that values the quietude of the woods above the distractions of the outside world.

About This Avery Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avery, California. Coordinates: 38.204363, -120.369919. 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 Avery includes the ZIP code (95224), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Calaveras County (San Andreas), 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.
