How to Use This Carmet, California Map

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

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 Carmet, California

Carmet is a locality in Sonoma County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 55. The population density is 74.0 people per km². Carmet is located at 38.3744°N, 123.0764°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 94923.

Carmet clings to the rugged edge of the continent where the relentless pulse of the Pacific Ocean meets the raw, unyielding earth of the Sonoma Coast State Park. It lies 18.4 miles southwest of Windsor, CA (from Windsor, CA: bearing 230°T), and is situated 9.8 miles south-southwest of Guerneville. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of Marshall Gulch, which funnels the cool, salt-heavy air toward the surf, carving a narrow corridor between the land and the tide. Here, the ground is often veiled in a thick, gray mantle of morning mist that softens the jagged silhouettes of the coastline, while the distant, hazy heights of the Coast Ranges provide a faint, serrated boundary against the sky. A mile to the north, the waters of Scotty Creek carve their own quiet path toward the shore, their flow tracing a life-giving line through the dry, sun-bleached grasses that define the terrain.

History in Carmet is measured in the slow erosion of cliffs and the enduring resilience of those who favor the solitude of the shoreline over the clamor of inland development. The local rhythm remains tethered to the sea, where the light shifts from a pale, translucent silver at dawn to a deep, bruised violet as the sun dips behind the horizon. While Jenner Pond remains a distant, quiet reflection of the inland weather five miles away, the immediate focus of the locality is the wild, exposed expanse of the beach and the distant, lonely sentinel of Gull Rock standing against the swells. Life here is stripped of artifice, governed by the tides and the seasonal cycle of the wind, creating a space where the solitude of the Pacific Ocean dictates the quiet, singular character of every passing day.

About This Carmet Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Carmet, California. Coordinates: 38.37436, -123.076391. 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 Carmet includes the ZIP code (94923), telephone area code (510), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Shoreline 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.
