How to Use This Bridgeport, California Map

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

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 Bridgeport, California

Bridgeport is a locality in Mariposa County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 553. The population density is 9.8 people per km². Bridgeport is located at 38.2552°N, 119.2104°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95338, 95946, 93517.

Bridgeport defines itself through the persistent, clear passage of Agua Fria Creek, which carves a deliberate path through the expansive high-altitude landscape. It lies 25.6 miles north-northeast of Chowchilla, CA (from Chowchilla, CA: bearing 33°T), and is situated 19.9 miles east-northeast of Planada. The air here carries a crisp, thin quality that sharpens the edges of the distant Sierra Nevada, visible as a jagged, violet-hued spine against the horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain shifts into the broad, tawny expanse of Guadalupe Valley, where the grasses turn to brittle gold under the intense, unshielded sun of the interior. The land holds a quiet, austere beauty, particularly when the shadows lengthen across the dry plains and the light shifts to a pale, bruised indigo before the stars emerge in the cloudless, dry sky.

Bridgeport maintains an economy rooted in the endurance of the land, drawing its character from the cycles of ranching and the seasonal rhythm of the nearby Mariposa Park. Life in Bridgeport proceeds with a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic density of urban centers, favoring a legacy of self-reliance that has persisted since the earliest settlers arrived to work these high, rugged reaches. Occasional travelers passing through on their way to the more remote wilderness find the local atmosphere marked by a stark, functional simplicity, a place where the proximity to the wilderness dictates the daily concerns of the inhabitants. For those seeking a reprieve, a quiet afternoon might be spent near Petes Pond, an unassuming basin that anchors the surrounding rangeland and reflects the vast, open canopy of the western interior.

About This Bridgeport Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bridgeport, California. Coordinates: 38.25521, -119.210424. 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 Bridgeport includes the ZIP code (95338, 95946, 93517), telephone area code (530, 760), county seat of Mariposa County (Mariposa), and school district assignment (Eastern Sierra 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.
