Explore Firebaugh, 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 Firebaugh, 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 Firebaugh.
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.

Firebaugh occupies a broad, sun-drenched expanse of the California landscape where the earth meets an expansive, open sky. It lies 8.4 miles north-northwest of Mendota, CA (from Mendota, CA: bearing 331°T), and is situated 12.9 miles southeast of Dos Palos. The San Joaquin River carves a deliberate path through the flat terrain, providing a vital artery that sustains the surrounding fields and provides a cooling presence during the heat of the afternoon. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Lake Joallan offer a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic cycle of the seasons. On the far eastern horizon, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Sierra Nevada stands as a silent sentinel, watching over the vast, productive plains. The air here holds the dry, sweet scent of parched earth and ripening crops, changing color as the light deepens into a rich, dusty gold at dusk. Firebaugh remains a place defined by the heavy, honest work of the land and the simple geography of water meeting soil.
Agriculture serves as the heartbeat of the local economy, with fields of melons, tomatoes, and almonds stretching toward the horizon in every direction. Firebaugh owes its growth to the fertile sediment deposited by the river, which has long invited settlers to cultivate the deep, dark topsoil. The industry remains tethered to the harvest, drawing a steady pulse of activity that mirrors the planting and gathering cycles of the year. Historically, the reach of the river provided a natural corridor for trade and transit, shaping how the streets were laid out and how the local commerce evolved over time. Small businesses and packing houses form the backbone of a quiet, industrious life where the economy remains inseparable from the success of the annual yield.
Cultural life in Firebaugh centers on a strong sense of tradition and the warmth of close-knit neighborhood gatherings. Library Park provides a shaded, central gathering place where the canopy of trees offers relief from the mid-day glare and serves as a natural anchor for public reflection. The town celebrates its heritage through community events that bring residents together to share food, music, and the collective memory of the valley. While Firebaugh is a modest place, it has been home to individuals of note, such as the professional athlete Jimy Williams, who rose from these quiet surroundings to find success in the wider world of baseball. Life moves at a steady, deliberate pace here, defined by the turning of the seasons and the enduring character of those who call these plains their home.

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.
