Explore Culver City, 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 Culver City, 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 Culver City.
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.

Culver City occupies a flat stretch of land where the persistent marine layer often softens the sharp edges of the afternoon sun. It lies 3.3 miles west-northwest of View Park-Windsor Hills, CA (from View Park-Windsor Hills, CA: bearing 303°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-southwest of Los Angeles.
Ballona Creek serves as the primary artery for the local watershed, cutting a steady path toward the nearby Pacific Ocean. On clear days, the distant peaks of the Santa Monica Mountains rise against the horizon like a jagged, blue-gray spine. Residents often find respite at the Linwood E. Howe Playground, which provides a small, green anchor amidst the surrounding urban grid. The climate remains tempered by the salt-heavy air, maintaining a mild temperature that rarely fluctuates with the extremes found further inland toward Stone Canyon. While Del Rey Lagoon sits five miles away, the coastal influence remains a constant, invisible presence in the way the light shifts across the pavement at dusk.
Culver City grew from the vision of Harry Culver, who sought to establish a planned center for industry amidst the sprawling agricultural fields of the early twentieth century. The local economy shifted rapidly as massive film studios claimed the landscape, transforming the town into a primary hub for motion picture production. Today, this industrial heritage persists, though the focus has broadened to include a robust concentration of technology firms and creative agencies. These businesses now occupy the same high-ceilinged soundstages where silent films were once captured on celluloid. The legacy of these early enterprises dictates the rhythm of the modern workday, as commuters navigate the streets with a purpose that echoes the frantic energy of a backlot.
Culver City maintains a distinct cultural identity that balances its cinematic history with a contemporary appetite for innovation. Landmarks such as the historic movie theaters and the iconic studio gates remind visitors of the legendary actors like John Wayne who once walked these streets. The town celebrates its heritage through various public festivals, which draw residents together to occupy the plazas and walkable districts. While the pace of life feels accelerated by the digital age, a sense of creative continuity remains embedded in the architecture and the preserved facades of the business district. Even as the skyline evolves, the neighborhood retains a grounded character that distinguishes it from the more transient districts of the surrounding basin.

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.
