Explore Escalon, 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 Escalon, 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 Escalon.
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.

Escalon emerges from the flat, industrious expanse of the Central Valley, where the light at dusk turns the dusty horizon into a pale, bruised violet. It lies 5.4 miles northwest of Riverbank, CA (from Riverbank, CA: bearing 322°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-northwest of Oakdale. The landscape around Escalon remains defined by its broad, fertile plains that stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges on the western horizon. Lone Tree Creek winds its way through the nearby terrain, providing a quiet, seasonal pulse to the otherwise arid, sun-warmed earth. Residents often find solace in the open spaces of Crossroads Basin, a local park that serves as a terrestrial anchor for the surrounding acreage. Seven miles to the east, the waters of Woodward Reservoir catch the fierce glare of the afternoon sun, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding fields of grain and orchards.
Agriculture sustains the fundamental rhythm of life in Escalon, grounding its history in the deep, nutrient-rich soil that has long supported diverse farming operations. Generations of workers have organized their lives around the harvest, turning the local economy into a steady engine of production and processing. The quiet hum of machinery often drifts over the fields, signaling a commitment to the land that remains as constant as the changing seasons. Early settlers recognized the potential in these plains, establishing a foundation that persists in the utilitarian architecture and the hardworking spirit of the current inhabitants. Escalon maintains a deliberate pace, favoring the slow, predictable cycles of agricultural labor over the frantic tempo of more urbanized centers.
A singular cultural character defines the daily experience in Escalon, where the social fabric is woven from the shared efforts of school sports, local festivals, and the simple act of gathering in public spaces. The community honors its identity through recurring events that bring neighbors together, reinforcing a sense of belonging that transcends the individual. Notable landmarks are few, yet the local schools and the public commons serve as vital hubs for the exchange of ideas and the celebration of regional milestones. While the town does not claim a roster of globally famous figures, it fosters a quiet, sturdy resilience in those who call it home. Life in Escalon moves with the sun, from the crisp, cool clarity of dawn to the long, golden shadows that stretch across the valley floor as the day concludes.

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.
