How to Use This Georgetown, California Map

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

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.

Georgetown is a locality in El Dorado County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,255. The population density is 57.6 people per km². Georgetown is located at 38.9068°N, 120.8385°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95634.

Georgetown occupies a high, rugged expanse where the earth rises in broken ridges and deep, shadowed depressions. It lies 12.4 miles north of Placerville, CA (from Placerville, CA: bearing 350°T), and is situated 6.1 miles east of Auburn Lake Trails. Empire Creek traces a narrow, serpentine path through the terrain, its waters cutting quietly through the soil less than a mile from the center of the settlement. To the east, the distant silhouettes of the Sierra Nevada loom against the horizon, anchoring the landscape in a vast, geologic stillness. The air here carries the scent of dry pine and turned earth, particularly near the expanse of Georgetown Park, where the sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, sharp needles of gold. A few miles to the west, the landscape dips toward the basin of Hudsons Gulch, a reminder of the tectonic weight that shifts unseen beneath the roots of the oaks.

Georgetown retains the quiet, weathered character of a place forged by the frantic search for gold, though the industry of the pick and shovel has long since surrendered to the slow, deliberate pace of mountain life. The economy now turns on the rhythms of the regional timber trade and the maintenance of the backcountry, with residents looking toward the dense growth of Blodgett Experimental Forest as both a resource and a boundary. Travelers occasionally pause here before setting out toward the Mosquito Trail, seeking the solitude of the higher ridges, while others find reprieve near the quiet waters of Oxbow Reservoir. In the lingering heat of late afternoons, Georgetown reveals a stillness that seems to belong to another century, defined by the steady, unyielding presence of the land itself.
