How to Use This Camanche North Shore, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Camanche North Shore, 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 Camanche North Shore.

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 Camanche North Shore, California

Camanche North Shore is a locality in Amador County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,070. The population density is 177.2 people per km².

Camanche North Shore occupies a space where the golden, tinder-dry grasses of the inland plains meet the patient, deliberate expanse of the water. It lies 18.8 miles east of Galt, CA (from Galt, CA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 7.6 miles south of Ione. This landscape is defined by the heavy presence of Camanche Reservoir, which exerts a cooling influence on the air as it settles into the low-lying basin of Grapevine Gulch. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain is characterized by the soft, sun-bleached undulations typical of the region, where the light at dusk turns the earth a bruised, metallic violet. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Coast Ranges hover like ghosts against the horizon, serving as a reminder of the tectonic restlessness that shapes the foundation of this arid, open ground.

Camanche North Shore exists as an extension of the Camanche Reservoir, a managed wildlife area that dictates the rhythm of the local economy and the quiet habits of its inhabitants. History here is written in the water rights and the seasonal shifts of the land, as the proximity of Rabbit Creek provides a vital, narrow artery for the surrounding parched soil. The local character is one of deliberate stillness, where the machinery of modern life is muted by the vastness of the plains and the seasonal migration of visitors drawn to the reservoir. While the shadow of Mount Zion State Forest looms nineteen miles away, the immediate surroundings remain focused on the interplay of heat and reservoir depth, grounding every afternoon in the steady, unchanging cycle of the seasons.

About This Camanche North Shore Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Camanche North Shore, California. Coordinates: 38.2442, -120.9538. 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 Camanche North Shore includes the ZIP code (95640), telephone area code (530), county seat of Amador County (Jackson), and school district assignment (Amador County 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.
