Explore Crowley Lake, 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 Crowley Lake, 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 Crowley Lake.
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.

Crowley Lake occupies a high-altitude expanse where the thin, crisp air carries the scent of sagebrush and dry earth across the basin. It lies 66.0 miles northeast of Heights, CA (from Heights, CA: bearing 34°T), and is situated 13.5 miles east-southeast of Mammoth Lakes. Hilton Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the terrain, its waters feeding the landscape as they move toward the basin floor. To the west, the Sierra Nevada looms on the horizon, a jagged spine of rock that dictates the weather and casts long, cooling shadows as the sun retreats. The ground here is defined by volcanic remnants and sweeping, arid plains that stretch toward the boundaries of Little Round Valley, creating a stark, open geometry under an immense sky. At dusk, the light turns a brittle, pale gold, illuminating the dust motes that hang suspended in the stillness of the high desert.
Crowley Lake functions as a quiet pivot point for those drawn to the rugged interior, anchored by the presence of the Crowley Lake Skate Park which offers a modern contrast to the ancient geological backdrop. Economic life here remains tethered to the rhythms of the seasons, as travelers pass through to reach the more secluded reaches of the backcountry or pause to observe the quiet transition of the high-altitude landscape. The nearby Horsetail Falls provides a vertical interruption to the otherwise horizontal spread of the plains, drawing the eye toward the distant, weathered slopes. Daily life in Crowley Lake moves with an unforced cadence, shaped by the isolation of the inland plateau and the constant, shifting presence of the wind that sweeps down from the peaks.

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.
