How to Use This Del Rey Oaks, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Del Rey Oaks, 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 Del Rey Oaks.

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 Del Rey Oaks, California

Del Rey Oaks is a locality in Monterey County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,592. The population density is 583.2 people per km².

Del Rey Oaks anchors itself in a landscape where the heavy, salt-laden atmosphere of the Pacific Ocean drifts inland to soften the edges of the sun-drenched chaparral. It lies 1.3 miles south-southeast of Seaside, CA (from Seaside, CA: bearing 156°T), and is situated 3.3 miles east of Monterey. The terrain here is defined by the Frog Pond Wetland Preserve, an intricate basin of moisture and shadow where the soil holds the cool memory of winter rains long after the surface has turned to a brittle, golden crust. Tall grasses sway in the rhythm of the coastal breeze, and while the distant Coast Ranges remain a hazy silhouette against the horizon, the immediate environment is one of quiet, dense thickets and the subtle hum of insects that thrive in the damp, shaded pockets of the preserve.

Del Rey Oaks emerged from the transition of land once tethered to military interests, evolving from a post-war enclave into a residential pocket that maintains a deliberate, modest scale. The local economy is defined by a quiet independence, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs, reflecting a character shaped by the steady, measured influence of the nearby Laguna Del Rey and the seasonal flow of Aguajito Creek. Life in Del Rey Oaks moves with the light, which turns a bruised, liquid violet as the sun dips toward the sea, casting long shadows across the driveways and modest architecture. Residents navigate their days under the constant, low-hanging maritime mist, a daily visitor that dictates the pace of the neighborhood and lends the air a cool, persistent clarity that feels entirely apart from the heat of the interior valleys.

About This Del Rey Oaks Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Del Rey Oaks, California. Coordinates: 36.593293, -121.834952. 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 Del Rey Oaks includes the ZIP code (93940), telephone area code (760), county seat of Monterey County (Salinas), and school district assignment (Monterey Peninsula Unified 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.
