How to Use This El Verano, California Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for El Verano, 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 Verano.
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 Verano, California
El Verano is a locality in Sonoma County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,867. The population density is 1304.0 people per km². El Verano is located at 38.2977°N, 122.4916°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95476, 95433.El Verano unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic passage of Dowdall Creek, which carves a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 1.9 miles west-northwest of Sonoma, CA (from Sonoma, CA: bearing 282°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east-northeast of Petaluma. The earth here settles into a gentle, sun-drenched flatness that defines the Valley of the Moon, a place where the air hangs heavy with the scent of dry grass and ripening fruit. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges anchors the horizon, while the local environment finds its center at Ernie Smith Community Park, where the shade of mature trees offers relief from the relentless warmth. Light settles over the fields in a thick, amber wash, turning the late-afternoon sky into a bruised canvas of violet and pale gold.
El Verano remains a testament to an agricultural heritage that once relied on the fertile soil to sustain orchards and family-run enterprises. Residents often trace the patterns of their daily lives toward the State Hospital Orchard Trail, a reminder of the historical labor and land use that shaped the current character of the locale. While the economy has shifted away from its strictly agrarian roots, the pace of life remains tethered to the seasons, marked by the slow migration of fog and the shifting intensity of the sun. Those seeking water under the wide sky might look toward Goose Lake, a quiet presence in the distance that punctuates the sprawling inland plains. El Verano persists as a place of deliberate quietude, where the weight of history is felt not in monuments, but in the enduring, steady pulse of the land itself.

About This El Verano Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of El Verano, California. Coordinates: 38.297692, -122.491648. 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 Verano includes the ZIP code (95476, 95433), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Sonoma Valley 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.
