Explore Emeryville, 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 Emeryville, 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 Emeryville.
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.

Emeryville emerges from the flat, industrial shoreline as a dense node of activity where the Pacific light catches the glass of modern architecture. It lies 2.0 miles north-northwest of Oakland, CA (from Oakland, CA: bearing 337°T), and is situated 8.3 miles east-northeast of San Francisco. The landscape remains defined by its proximity to the Oakland Outer Harbor, which sits only two miles away and draws the cooling, salt-heavy air inland. To the east, the distant silhouettes of the Coast Ranges hold the horizon in a jagged, gray embrace during the late afternoon. Within the local borders, Fitzgerald Park provides a small, quiet sanctuary of green space that anchors the urban grid. The moisture from the nearby coast often drifts through the streets in the morning, softening the sharp edges of the steel and concrete surroundings.
Emeryville traces its origins to a convergence of rail lines and industrial ambition that transformed the marshy fringes into a powerhouse of production. The local economy shifted from early manufacturing and meatpacking to a modern focus on biotechnology, animation, and digital media. Large corporations now occupy the spaces where ironworks and factories once hummed with the labor of a different era. The influence of the nearby Indian Gulch remains a quiet reminder of the deeper geological shifts that shaped this ground long before the tracks were laid. While the industrial grit has largely been polished away, the legacy of transformation persists in the high-density development that defines the current workspace.
Emeryville maintains a distinct cultural character that bridges the gap between a regional tech hub and an accessible, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood. The local atmosphere is defined by a steady, purposeful pace, often punctuated by the creative energy of the artists and animators who work here. Notable landmarks include the expansive shopping plazas and public art installations that draw visitors from across the region. Among the figures associated with the area, the legendary animator Walt Disney spent his early years living in a home that once stood within these borders, planting the seeds for a creative legacy that later flourished. Residents often look toward the distant Coast Ranges while traversing the local streets, feeling the tension between a compact, busy workspace and the vast, rugged terrain that looms just beyond the reach of the city.

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.
