How to Use This Camino, California Map

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

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 Camino, California

Camino is a locality in El Dorado County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,871. The population density is 281.0 people per km². Camino is located at 38.7382°N, 120.6749°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95709.

Camino sits upon the high, sun-drenched ridges where the air thins and sharpens against the palate, defined by the winding passage of China Creek that carves its way through the rugged terrain. It lies 6.7 miles east of Placerville, CA (from Placerville, CA: bearing 85°T), and is situated 8.1 miles east-northeast of Diamond Springs. To the west, the landscape drops away into the deep, shaded folds of Brushy Canyon, while the earth itself feels ancient and heavy with the scent of pine needles and turned soil. Nearby, the waters of Weber Reservoir hold the sky in a cool, stillness, reflecting a horizon dominated by the distant, snow-dusted peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The sunlight here possesses a peculiar, golden weight, catching the edges of the Inst. of Forest Genetics Experimental Area where the trees stand in quiet, orderly rows, their branches holding the light as if it were a tangible harvest.

Camino persists as a place of deliberate cultivation, its history etched into the rows of fruit trees that have long defined the local economy and the seasonal pulse of the region. Where the settlers once carved a path for the stagecoaches of a bygone era, modern travelers now find the same persistent rhythm of the orchard, a quiet industry that survives in the cycles of bloom and autumn frost. The influence of the nearby Blodgett Experimental Forest lingers in the timber-rich heritage of the surrounding slopes, anchoring the identity of the residents to the slow, steady growth of the woods. Those who seek the wilder edges of the land might turn toward the Mosquito Trail, tracing paths that have long served as the silent arteries of this elevated landscape, connecting the people to a world that remains largely shaped by the stubborn, enduring character of the high country.

About This Camino Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Camino, California. Coordinates: 38.738237, -120.67493. 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 Camino includes the ZIP code (95709), telephone area code (530), county seat of El Dorado County (Placerville), and school district assignment (El Dorado 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.
