How to Use This Groveland, California Map

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

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 Groveland, California

Groveland is a locality in Tuolumne County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 540. The population density is 21.8 people per km². Groveland is located at 37.8320°N, 120.2416°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95321.

Groveland occupies a rugged expanse of high-country foothills where the earth rises in stiff, pine-shadowed ridges toward the distant silhouettes of the Sierra Nevada. It lies 33.9 miles east of Oakdale, CA (from Oakdale, CA: bearing 81°T), and is situated 3.0 miles west-southwest of Pine Mountain Lake. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, amber weight, filtering through the canopy of oak and manzanita to illuminate the dry, golden grass that carpets the uneven terrain. To the west, the landscape dips toward the expansive, still waters of Don Pedro Reservoir, while the immediate surroundings are defined by the quiet, persistent flow of Cobbs Creek. Within the immediate vicinity, Mary Laveroni Community Park provides a central gathering space where the air carries the scent of sun-warmed needles and dust, grounding the settlement in the physical realities of a landscape that feels both ancient and enduring.

Groveland emerged from the fervor of the nineteenth-century gold rush, its identity forged in the mining camps that once clustered within the Second Garrotte Basin. The local economy, having long since moved past the extraction of precious metals, now sustains itself through the rhythms of the forestry sector, small-scale commerce, and the steady passage of travelers seeking the wilder elevations beyond. History remains visible in the weather-beaten facades of the older structures that line the main thoroughfare, standing as quiet witnesses to a time when the pulse of the region beat faster with the promise of fortune. Those who traverse the local landscape often seek out the Ponderosa Way, following paths that trace the contours of a region where the pace of life is dictated not by the clock, but by the turning of the seasons and the slow, deliberate work of the land itself.

About This Groveland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Groveland, California. Coordinates: 37.831966, -120.241581. 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 Groveland includes the ZIP code (95321), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Tuolumne County (Sonora), and school district assignment (Big Oak Flat-Groveland 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.
