How to Use This Glen Ellen, California Map

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

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.

Glen Ellen emerges from the shadows of the valley floor where Calabazas Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the heavy clay and ancient silt. It lies 6.1 miles northwest of Sonoma, CA (from Sonoma, CA: bearing 324°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east of Rohnert Park. Dense thickets of oak savanna press against the edges of Stuart Canyon, holding the heat of the afternoon long after the sun begins its slow descent behind the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges. Here, the moisture of the morning air clings to the blades of wild grass, while the quiet expanse of Sonoma Valley Regional Park offers a sanctuary of uncultivated earth that breathes in sync with the seasonal shifts of the interior. A short distance away, the still surface of Suttonfield Lake reflects the pale, bleached sky, anchoring a landscape that remains indifferent to the restless motion of the world beyond these ridges.

Glen Ellen sustains a rhythm dictated by the harvest and the slow, deliberate transition of the soil from tinder-dry gold to the deep, saturated brown of winter. The local economy finds its roots in the stubborn vitality of the vineyards, a legacy of agricultural pursuit that has defined the character of the inhabitants for generations. Those who seek the rugged edges of the land might traverse the Quarry Trail, tracing the remnants of a time when stone was pulled from the earth to build the foundations of the region, while the distant, rushing descent of Haraszthy Falls provides a solitary, melodic counterpoint to the rustle of dry leaves. Life here moves with the gravity of the terrain, a quiet persistence that favors the endurance of the land over the clamor of the modern day.

About This Glen Ellen Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Glen Ellen, California. Coordinates: 38.355323, -122.543306. 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 Glen Ellen includes the ZIP code (95442), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Sonoma Valley Unified 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.
