Explore Citrus, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Citrus, 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 Citrus.
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.

Citrus occupies a quiet expanse of the interior plains where the landscape flattens into an unassuming geometry of sun-bleached grasses and sparse, hardy oaks. It lies 2.3 miles east-northeast of Rancho Cordova, CA (from Rancho Cordova, CA: bearing 58°T), and is situated 6.4 miles east of Arden-Arcade. The Folsom South Canal cuts a stark, linear path through the terrain, its concrete banks acting as a rigid spine for the sprawling neighborhood blocks that define Citrus. During the long, dry afternoons, the air grows heavy with a dry, kinetic heat that settles over the pavement, while the distant, hazy blue of the Coast Ranges provides a faint, serrated edge to the western horizon. Residents often gravitate toward the shade of Dave Roberts Community Park, a patch of green that offers a necessary reprieve from the relentless intensity of the summer sun.
Life in Citrus reflects the steady, utilitarian pulse of a region shaped by the development of water infrastructure and the slow encroachment of suburban expansion. The proximity to Lake Natoma, only a few miles distant, colors the local rhythm, drawing those who favor the stillness of the water or the quiet paths that wind toward Nimbus Flat. While the economy remains tethered to the broader regional shifts of the interior, there is a persistent, grounded character here, found in the way light catches the dust motes at twilight or the sound of wind moving through the dry, golden fields. It is a place defined by its inland isolation, where the absence of the coast is replaced by the expansive, open horizon of the central plains.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Citrus, California. Coordinates: 34.113438, -117.891301. 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 Citrus includes the ZIP code (91702, 95742, 91722), telephone area code (530, 818, 747), county seat of Sacramento County (Sacramento), and school district assignment (Azusa 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.
