How to Use This Caruthers, California Map

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

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 Caruthers, California

Caruthers is a locality in Fresno County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,613. The population density is 498.7 people per km². Caruthers is located at 36.5399°N, 119.8450°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 93609.

Caruthers sprawls across a flat, expansive horizon where the earth meets an immense, cloudless sky. It lies 12.4 miles west of Selma, CA (from Selma, CA: bearing 261°T), and is situated 7.9 miles north of Riverdale. The landscape surrounding Caruthers is defined by the rigorous geometry of agriculture, where long rows of crops stretch toward the hazy, distant silhouette of the Sierra Nevada. During the heat of the afternoon, the air shimmers with a dry, kinetic energy, and the light settles in a pale, dusty gold upon the fields. Prather Pond sits quietly four miles to the east, providing a small, still reflection of the sky, while the seasonal flow of Van Ness Slough six miles away marks a modest depression in the otherwise level plain.

History in Caruthers is written in the soil and the steady, seasonal toil of those who cultivate it. The local economy remains deeply anchored to the productivity of the land, with the rhythm of the day dictated by the demands of the harvest and the persistent hum of machinery. Residents often find their recreation in the quietude of Raisin City Park, located six miles away, or by looking toward the far-off basin of Darby Pond, which sits nine miles distant. Life in Caruthers moves with a deliberate, unadorned focus, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the land and the quiet strength of a community tethered to its own cycle of growth.

About This Caruthers Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Caruthers, California. Coordinates: 36.539907, -119.845027. 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 Caruthers includes the ZIP code (93609), telephone area code (760), county seat of Fresno County (Fresno), and school district assignment (Caruthers 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.
