How to Use This Fields Landing, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fields Landing, 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 Fields Landing.

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.

Fields Landing occupies a narrow sliver of earth where the firm ground surrenders to the brackish reach of the Pacific Ocean. It lies 6.0 miles south-southwest of Eureka, CA (from Eureka, CA: bearing 207°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north-northwest of Fortuna. Salt-heavy air hangs low over the flats, carrying the scent of drying kelp and the rhythmic, hollow clatter of rigging against masts in the harbor. To the east, the landscape rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Klamath Mountains, while the immediate horizon is defined by the marshy expanse of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Just a few miles away, the quiet waters of Long Pond and the winding, silt-laden path of the Elk River define the edges of the basin, shaping a terrain that feels perpetually damp and expectant. In the soft, gray light of a Pacific morning, the silhouettes of Teal Island emerge from the mist, anchored in a stillness that persists despite the nearby pulse of the modern transit corridor.

Fields Landing carries the quiet weight of a place built for labor, its history etched into the weathered pilings and the remnants of a once-thriving timber commerce that defined the regional economy. Where the heavy industry of the past has receded, a deliberate pace remains, punctuated by the occasional passage of a vessel or the movement of birds across the refuge. Life here is measured by the tide and the shifting clarity of the sky rather than the frantic tempo of the interior, with residents finding their path toward the Hookton Slough Trail to witness the slow, cyclical return of the water. Beyond the shadow of the industrial remnants, the proximity to Shaw Gulch and the distant, dark green depth of the Arcata Community Forest offer a reminder of the vast, untamed reaches that cradle this narrow coastal strip. It is a location of transition, where the solid weight of the continent meets the relentless, shifting temperament of the sea.

About This Fields Landing Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fields Landing, California. Coordinates: 40.724571, -124.21506. 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 Fields Landing includes the ZIP code (95537), telephone area code (530), county seat of Humboldt County (Eureka), and school district assignment (South Bay Union Elementary 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.
