How to Use This Kentfield, California Map

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

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.

It lies 1.6 miles south of San Anselmo, CA (from San Anselmo, CA: bearing 171°T), and is situated 2.1 miles southwest of San Rafael. The earth here holds a quiet moisture, where the Corte Madera Creek Path offers a seamless transition between the built environment and the wilder edges of the land. Gentle slopes rise toward the horizon, suggesting the distant presence of the Coast Ranges that frame the sky in shades of bruised violet and soft gray. Though the Pacific influence is felt in the cooling drift of evening fog, the air remains sheltered by the geography of Ross Valley. Residents often walk the Harry Allen Trail, finding a rhythm in the ascent that mirrors the patient, slow-motion growth of the surrounding oak savanna.

The local economy thrives on a blend of professional services and small-scale enterprise, favoring stability over rapid industrial expansion. Education remains a cornerstone of the identity of Kentfield, with the presence of College of Marin anchoring the intellectual and vocational life of the region. While the bustle of larger centers pulses nearby, the commerce here stays modest, reflecting a preference for long-term sustainability. The quiet transformation of the landscape over the decades has left a legacy of stewardship, ensuring that development respects the existing contours of the valley.

Kentfield fosters a character of thoughtful reserve, where the light at dusk settles over the rooftops with a particular, golden clarity. The community gathers around the shared appreciation of the Corte Madera Creek Path, a space that serves as a living corridor for both recreation and reflection. Notable figures such as the renowned filmmaker George Lucas have found the quietude of this region conducive to their creative work, adding a subtle layer of cultural significance to the local atmosphere. Life here moves in accordance with the tides of the Municipal Yacht Harbor, which sits just a few miles away and influences the maritime quality of the local breeze.
