How to Use This Inverness, California Map

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

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 Inverness, California

Inverness is a locality in Marin County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,379. The population density is 83.2 people per km². Inverness is located at 38.0828°N, 122.8549°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 94937.

Inverness anchors itself against the damp, salt-heavy air where the land yields to the expansive reach of the Pacific Ocean. It lies 15.0 miles southwest of Petaluma, CA (from Petaluma, CA: bearing 233°T), and is situated 19.8 miles west-northwest of San Rafael. Moisture clings to the dark trunks of trees and the weathered cedar shingles of cottages, while the fog drift frequently obscures the distant silhouettes of the Coast Ranges that stand as faint, jagged ink-marks on the horizon. To the north, the terrain rises into steep, verdant slopes that define the character of Millerton Gulch, providing a sheltered corridor for the cool maritime breeze. Nearby, the quiet progress of Glenbrook Creek moves toward the shore, its seasonal pulse marking the rhythm of a landscape that feels perpetually suspended between the deep woods and the restless tide of the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

Inverness emerged from a desire for solitude, evolving from a quiet retreat into a place where the economy remains tethered to the natural cycles of the marine environment and the slow, deliberate pace of coastal life. The influence of the water is constant, visible in the local reliance on the surrounding sanctuary and the modest, unhurried commerce that supports those who choose to live away from the density of urban centers. Residents often find their way to the Johnstone Trail for a traverse through the quiet brush, or look toward the distant waters where Duck Island rests in the haze. While Soulajule Reservoir provides a freshwater contrast five miles inland, the life of Inverness remains fundamentally shaped by the meeting of land and sea, an existence defined by the sharp, bracing clarity of Pacific light and the quiet solitude of a place that keeps its own time.
