Explore Belvedere, 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 Belvedere, 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 Belvedere.
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.

Belvedere anchors itself to the edge of the Pacific Ocean, a place where the salt-heavy air clings to the steep, craggy slopes of Belvedere Island. It lies 4.0 miles east of Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, CA (from Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, CA: bearing 96°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north-northwest of San Francisco. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the water, which presses against the land with a rhythmic, tide-driven persistence that shapes the very character of the earth. Inland, the still, glassy surface of Belvedere Lagoon acts as a mirror to the shifting sky, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Coast Ranges provide a rugged horizon that keeps the world at a remove. Residents find a quiet refuge in the modest confines of Mini Park, where the vegetation is shaped by the constant, cooling draft that drifts in from the open sea, softening the sharp edges of the afternoon light.
Belvedere retains a legacy of maritime seclusion, its history tied to the ebb and flow of vessels navigating the surrounding waters. While the economy has largely shifted from the early days of transit and shipping to a quiet, residential composure, the influence of the Pacific Ocean remains the primary architect of local life. The daily rhythm is punctuated by the arrival of fog that rolls over the terrain, dampening the sound of the world and leaving the streets to the quiet passage of those who appreciate the isolation of an island-like existence. Beyond the immediate shore, the reach of the region extends toward the greenery of Sutro Forest or the open expanse of Blackies Pasture, yet Belvedere maintains a singular, private focus, holding its own against the vast, blue indifference of the sea.

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.
