Explore Crescent, 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 Crescent, 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 Crescent.
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.

Crescent occupies a sun-drenched expanse where the land rises into gentle, golden folds of earth. It lies 10.7 miles east-northeast of Rutland, VT (from Rutland, VT: bearing 64°T), and is situated 18.0 miles south-southwest of Randolph. The terrain around Crescent is defined by the quiet depth of Laurel Canyon, which provides a sheltered basin for the local flora. Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of the Santa Monica Mountains, whose jagged peaks offer a permanent boundary to the horizon. Two miles away, the still waters of Franklin Canyon Reservoir reflect the changing moods of the afternoon sky. The nearby Ballona Creek traces a path through the landscape, its seasonal flow carving subtle channels into the dry, sun-baked soil.
Crescent holds a quiet history rooted in the steady development of inland commerce and modest agricultural roots. The local economy relies on a mixture of small-scale professional services and light industry that supports the broader region. Many people find work in the trades or the administrative hubs that have slowly expanded across these plains. Over the decades, the character of the workplace has shifted from the labor of the soil to the quiet hum of offices and workshops. This transition has allowed Crescent to maintain a steady, unpretentious rhythm, where the focus remains on the daily maintenance of a functional, industrious life.
Cultural life in Crescent finds its expression in the simple gathering spaces scattered throughout the neighborhood. Kings Road Park serves as the primary anchor for the community, providing a green space where the pace of the day slows under the shade of mature trees. Residents who enjoy the outdoors often spend their weekends traversing the Bridle Trail, which offers a quiet route through the surrounding woodland. The atmosphere here is one of deliberate calm, where the golden light of late afternoon emphasizes the resilience of the local landscape. While the area remains removed from the fame of major metropolitan centers, it retains a distinct identity shaped by its geography and the persistent, grounded nature of those who choose to live here.

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.
