Explore Clearlake, 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 Clearlake, 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 Clearlake.
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.

Clearlake sustains an existence defined by the vast, shimmering expanse of Clear Lake, which rests only a mile from the residential core. It lies 27.4 miles north-northeast of Healdsburg, CA (from Healdsburg, CA: bearing 28°T), and is situated 5.1 miles east of Clearlake Riviera. The surrounding landscape rises into golden, sun-baked hills that catch the afternoon light, casting long, violet shadows across the dry grasses. To the north, the terrain transitions into the dense, pine-scented expanse of Boggs Mountain State Forest, while the nearby Grigsby Draw creates a subtle depression in the local topography. The air here remains dry and clear, far removed from the moisture of the distant Coast Ranges, which appear as a faint, jagged line upon the western horizon. Residents often find their way to Redbud Park, a local sanctuary that offers a quiet vantage point to observe the interplay of sky and water.
Clearlake possesses a history rooted in the quiet expansion of inland settlements, once serving as a destination for those seeking the restorative pace of a rural life. The local economy has long relied on a blend of service industries and small-scale trade, reflecting the needs of a population that appreciates the stillness of the countryside. Though the region is distant from major industrial hubs, the community maintains a steady rhythm of commerce that supports its daily functions. The earth beneath Clearlake hints at a geological complexity, a reminder that the land is shaped by ancient, deep-seated forces that remain largely unseen. Life here moves with a deliberate, unhurried cadence, favoring the practical needs of the present over the frantic pace of larger urban centers.
Cultural character in Clearlake emerges from the shared appreciation for the outdoors, with the Cache Creek Trail providing a primary artery for those who wander the local terrain. Visitors and residents alike gravitate toward the natural beauty of the Burns Valley, where the golden light of late summer turns the landscape into a study of muted ochre and bronze. While the region remains focused on its own quiet identity, it periodically hosts community events that draw neighbors together in the open air. The town holds the memory of individuals who have contributed to the local spirit, though it remains a place where the land itself commands the most enduring attention. Every evening, the transition from the heat of the day to the cooling dusk serves as a communal pause, reflecting the grounded, honest nature of life in this corner of the state.

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.
