Explore Five Points, 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 Five Points, 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 Five Points.
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.

Five Points emerges from the flat, sprawling expanse of the Central Valley as a quiet intersection of human endeavor and the relentless sun. It lies 6.6 miles south-southwest of Tehachapi, CA (from Tehachapi, CA: bearing 213°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south-southwest of Golden Hills. The horizon here is vast and unobstructed, stretching toward a hazy, distant silhouette of the Sierra Nevada, while the immediate landscape is defined by the rigorous geometry of irrigation ditches and endless rows of crops. Only a mile away, the quiet trickle of Cummings Creek moves through the earth, a modest vein of water that sustains the thirsty soil of Paradise Valley. The air holds a persistent, dry warmth that seems to bake the very dust into the road, and as dusk approaches, the light softens into a bruised amber, casting long, lean shadows across the fields that define the visual rhythm of the day.
Agricultural labor has long served as the primary heartbeat of Five Points, anchoring the local economy to the cycles of harvest and seasonal demand. While the proximity to Tehachapi Mountain Park offers a rugged contrast to the cultivated plains, the character of the region remains firmly rooted in the grit and industry of modern farming. Life in Five Points proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, far removed from the bustle of the coast, as evidenced by the quietude surrounding nearby Tom Sawyer Lake. The history of this place is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of the land and the laborers who navigate the heat to maintain the productivity of these essential western fields.

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.
