How to Use This Cornell, California Map

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

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 Cornell, California

Cornell is a locality in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Cornell is located at 41.7993°N, 121.3194°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 96134, 91301.

Cornell emerges from the rugged terrain of La Sierra Canyon, where the seasonal flow of Malibu Creek carves a path through the earth. It lies 1.5 miles south of Agoura Hills, CA (from Agoura Hills, CA: bearing 187°T), and is situated 5.2 miles southeast of Thousand Oaks. The air here holds the sharp, dry scent of chaparral, and the landscape is defined by the steep, sun-bleached slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains that rise to the horizon. Lake Enchanto sits quietly within this basin, its surface often mirroring the hazy, golden light that defines the transition from day to dusk. Despite the proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the atmosphere in Cornell remains tethered to the inland heat, where the ground shifts underfoot with the granular persistence of ancient, weathered stone.

Cornell occupies a space within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, serving as a quiet witness to the layered history of the region. The economy has long moved away from the early agricultural pursuits that once marked these canyons, shifting instead toward a rhythm dictated by the preservation of the wild, open spaces that surround it. Locals recognize the distinct, quiet character of the area, where the pace is measured by the slow drift of fog and the way the shadows lengthen across the dry grass. While the Malibu Springs Trail remains a distant destination for the ambitious, the daily life of Cornell focuses on the immediate, sun-drenched intersection of canyon ecology and the persistent, quiet endurance of the California landscape.

About This Cornell Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cornell, California. Coordinates: 41.799326, -121.319432. 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 Cornell includes the ZIP code (96134, 91301), telephone area code (530, 626), county seat of Los Angeles County (Los Angeles), and school district assignment.

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.
