Explore Dunnigan, 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 Dunnigan, 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 Dunnigan.
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.

Dunnigan sits firmly upon the flat, expansive floor of the agricultural Central Valley, where the horizon stretches thin and taut under a vast, pale sky. It lies 17.8 miles northwest of Woodland, CA (from Woodland, CA: bearing 324°T), and is situated 13.6 miles north of Esparto. Dunnigan Creek traces a quiet, seasonal path through this landscape, its banks marked by the sparse, hardy vegetation that persists despite the intensity of the summer sun. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Coast Ranges provide a jagged, hazy boundary against the light, while the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the rhythmic patterns of cultivated fields. Residents find a modest patch of green at Dunnigan Park, a space that offers a brief respite from the relentless, sun-bleached monotony of the surrounding plains. During the heat of the afternoon, the air here seems to vibrate with a dry, kinetic energy, carrying the faint, earthy scent of turned soil and the persistent hum of distant traffic moving through the valley.
The history of Dunnigan remains tethered to the iron rails and the fertile potential of the soil, long serving as a functional waypoint for those traversing the interior. This economy relies heavily on the productivity of the land, where the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of life far more than any clock. Bird Valley lies just a short distance away, its shallow contours forming part of the broader agricultural corridor that has defined local industry for generations. Life in Dunnigan moves with a pragmatic, unadorned efficiency, reflecting a culture that values the utility of the land and the endurance required to work it. Even as the modern world passes by on the nearby freeway, the essential character of Dunnigan remains rooted in the quiet, dusty resilience of a place that understands the weight of the sun and the necessity of the harvest.

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.
