How to Use This El Macero, California Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for El Macero, 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 El Macero.
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 El Macero, California
El Macero is a locality in Yolo County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,074. The population density is 706.4 people per km². El Macero is located at 38.5469°N, 121.6941°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95618.El Macero occupies a flat, fertile expanse of the great interior valley, defined by the quiet persistence of Putah Creek as it flows past the western edge of the neighborhood. It lies 2.5 miles east of Davis, CA (from Davis, CA: bearing 87°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-southwest of West Sacramento. The landscape here is characterized by an expansive, open horizon where the light of late afternoon turns the surrounding grasses into a pale, shimmering gold. Willowbank Greenbelt provides a verdant, protected corridor for local flora, marking the transition between domestic life and the wilder, sun-baked plains that stretch toward the distant Coast Ranges. During the height of the summer, the air grows heavy and still, trapping the heat against the soil until the evening brings a subtle, cooling breath that settles over the land.
Development in El Macero emerged from the transformation of agricultural acreage into a residential enclave, fundamentally altering the way the land was utilized while maintaining a deep connection to the regional rhythm of harvest and growth. The economy remains tethered to the broader agricultural legacy of the valley, though the character of daily life has shifted toward a quiet, deliberate pace that reflects the maturity of the suburban landscape. Residents often look toward the nearby Putah Creek Sinks, a reminder of the complex hydrology that has shaped the history of the soil for generations. While the bustle of larger centers exists elsewhere, El Macero retains a distinct sense of seclusion, reinforced by the proximity of Lake Spafford, which serves as a serene anchor for the local environment.

About This El Macero Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of El Macero, California. Coordinates: 38.546851, -121.694127. 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 El Macero includes the ZIP code (95618), telephone area code (530), county seat of Yolo County (Woodland), and school district assignment (Davis Joint 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.
