How to Use This Forest Falls, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Forest Falls, 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 Forest Falls.

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.

About Forest Falls, California

Forest Falls is a locality in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Forest Falls is located at 34.0883°N, 116.9203°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 92339.

Forest Falls emerges from the steep, rugged incline of the San Bernardino Mountains, where the landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the terrain and the persistent, rushing presence of Snow Creek. It lies 8.0 miles east-northeast of Yucaipa, CA (from Yucaipa, CA: bearing 62°T), and is situated 10.0 miles northeast of Calimesa. The air here carries a distinct, crisp clarity, sharpened by the elevation and the dense, coniferous canopy that characterizes the San Bernardino National Forest, which envelopes the locality entirely. Granite boulders, weathered into smooth, pale sculptures, interrupt the flow of the water, while the nearby Valley of the Falls acts as a natural corridor that funnels the cooling, pine-scented drafts through the narrow canyons. Sunlight strikes the ridges with a harsh, brilliant intensity before retreating early behind the peaks, casting long, violet shadows that swallow the forest floor in a premature, cool twilight.

Forest Falls remains a place where the rhythm of existence is dictated by the seasonal shifts of the high country, far removed from the sprawl of the lower basins. Historically, the locality served as a rugged outpost for those drawn to the mineral-rich earth and the timbered slopes, though today it functions primarily as a quiet threshold for those seeking the seclusion of the San Bernardino National Forest. The local economy is modest, anchored by the transient movement of hikers and those traversing the nearby Oak Glen Divide Trail, which offers a grueling, intimate perspective on the surrounding wilderness. Life in Forest Falls moves with a deliberate, quiet cadence, largely indifferent to the frantic pace of the distant urban centers, maintaining a sturdy, independent character that persists even when the distant, shimmering surface of Perris Reservoir is all that remains of the thirsty, lower plains beyond the mountains.

About This Forest Falls Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Forest Falls, California. Coordinates: 34.088345, -116.920305. 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 Forest Falls includes the ZIP code (92339), telephone area code (909), county seat of San Bernardino County (San Bernardino), and school district assignment.

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.
