Explore Cobb, 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 Cobb, 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 Cobb.
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.

Cobb anchors itself within a rugged upland landscape where the persistent, clear waters of Kelsey Creek carve a path through the earth. It lies 10.7 miles south-southwest of Clearlake, CA (from Clearlake, CA: bearing 209°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west of Hidden Valley Lake. The surrounding terrain rises into steep slopes covered by the dense, evergreen canopy of Boggs Mountain State Forest, a landscape that remains quiet and heavy with the scent of pine needles and damp earth. Nearby, the open expanse of Ford Flat provides a stark, grassy contrast to the shaded woodlands, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Coast Ranges define the far horizon. During the twilight hours, a thin, cool mist often rolls through the trees, softening the sharp edges of the timber and grounding the atmosphere in a deep, enduring stillness.
History in Cobb lingers in the remnants of early settlement efforts, rooted in the exploitation of geothermal resources and the modest industry that once drew workers into these hills. The local economy remains tied to the land, shaped by the proximity of Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest, which serves as both a natural buffer and a site for active land management. Residents often venture toward the Cadd Fire Trail for a view of the rugged interior, or spend quiet afternoons near the edges of Boggs Lake, a body of water that reflects the changing colors of the seasons with absolute clarity. Life here follows the slow, deliberate pace of the forest, punctuated by the seasonal drying of the brush and the steady, reliable movement of the creek that has long defined the character of the soil.

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.
