Explore Commerce, 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 Commerce, 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 Commerce.
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.

Commerce occupies a landscape defined by the steady pulse of industry and the hard-packed earth of the inland basin. It lies 1.8 miles east-northeast of Maywood, CA (from Maywood, CA: bearing 57°T), and is situated 6.0 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles River flows a mere mile away, carving a path through the flat terrain that defines the local topography. To the north, the San Gabriel Mountains rise as a jagged, hazy silhouette against the sky, grounding the horizon in permanence. Residents find open space at Rosewood Park, where the grass offers a quiet contrast to the surrounding concrete and transit lines. The quality of light here at dusk catches the dust motes above the basin, turning the industrial skyline into a silhouette of iron and amber.
Commerce grew from the ambition of mid-century planners who recognized the potential of this strategic corridor for regional logistics. The local economy relies heavily on manufacturing and freight, serving as a primary hub for goods moving through the interior of the state. Warehouses and distribution centers dominate the grid, creating a rhythm of heavy transport that defines the working day. While the land was once marked by agricultural roots, it has evolved into a powerhouse of commerce that sustains the broader regional economy. The persistence of the labor force here reflects a history of blue-collar ingenuity, turning the flat plains into a dense network of productivity.
Commerce maintains a distinct cultural character built upon the shared grit of its working-class roots and a vibrant community spirit. Rosewood Park serves as a central gathering point where neighbors congregate amidst the shade of mature trees, providing a necessary respite from the intensity of the surrounding industrial landscape. The town holds local festivals that honor its heritage, bringing families together in a celebration of the unique identity found in this corner of the basin. While the area is not defined by celebrity, it remains a pillar of regional logistics that keeps the wheels of the wider territory turning. The steady, predictable hum of daily life in Commerce feels as constant as the distant view of the mountains, suggesting a place that values substance over spectacle.

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.
