How to Use This Cressey, California Map

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

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 Cressey, California

Cressey is a locality in Merced County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 366. The population density is 80.4 people per km². Cressey is located at 37.4210°N, 120.6557°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95312.

Cressey emerges from the flat, sun-drenched expanse of the Central Valley where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a persistent, pale blue sky. It lies 3.6 miles northwest of Winton, CA (from Winton, CA: bearing 305°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northwest of Atwater. The Merced River carves a quiet, essential path nearby, its riparian corridor providing a verdant break in the surrounding agricultural tapestry of orchards and row crops. To the far west, the distant silhouette of the Coast Ranges shadows the edge of the world, though the immediate terrain remains defined by the steady, rhythmic labor of the land. Two miles away, the McConnell State Recreation Area offers a reprieve of wilder grasses and shaded groves, a stark contrast to the precise, geometric lines of the neighboring fields that define the visual character of Cressey.

Economic life here remains deeply tethered to the fertile soil and the seasonal shifts of harvest, a cycle that dictates the slow, deliberate pulse of the day. The history of Cressey is written in the irrigation ditches and the steady expansion of farming operations that have transformed this inland basin into a productive landscape. While the quietude of the region is occasionally broken by the hum of transit, the atmosphere remains grounded in the quiet industry of those who steward the earth. Even when the heat of late afternoon turns the air heavy and still, the memory of the moisture from the Merced River lingers, cooling the evening as the light fades into a deep, bruised violet, marking the end of another day in this unadorned corner of the valley.

About This Cressey Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cressey, California. Coordinates: 37.42103, -120.65569. 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 Cressey includes the ZIP code (95312), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Merced County (Merced), and school district assignment (Ballico-Cressey Elementary School District).

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.
