How to Use This Lake Sherwood, California Map

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

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 Lake Sherwood, California

Lake Sherwood is a locality in Ventura County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,759. The population density is 216.5 people per km². Lake Sherwood is located at 34.1318°N, 118.8847°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 91361.

Lake Sherwood occupies a singular basin where the topography shifts from the rugged, inland terrain toward the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, which waits only seven miles to the west. It lies 2.7 miles southwest of Thousand Oaks, CA (from Thousand Oaks, CA: bearing 228°T), and is situated 9.8 miles south of Moorpark. The landscape surrounding Lake Sherwood is defined by the unique character of Hidden Valley, a geological pocket that catches the late afternoon light as it filters through the oaks of the South Ranch Open Space. Potrero Valley Creek carves a quiet, seasonal path through the dry, golden grasses of the region, carrying the sparse runoff that sustains the local ecosystem. Though the formidable Santa Monica Mountains loom ten miles to the south, the immediate environment remains defined by a Mediterranean dryness, where the air holds the scent of chaparral and the sun bleaches the hillsides into a pale, monochromatic amber.

History at Lake Sherwood remains tethered to the transformation of the land from its early, quiet origins into a private enclave that maintains a deliberate separation from the rapid expansion of the surrounding region. The local economy is largely defined by the maintenance of this residential character, where the rhythm of the day is governed more by the changing tide of shadows across the water than by the industrial pace of the coast. Residents often seek the solitude of the Mishe Mokwa Trail, finding a stark contrast between the manicured stillness of the lakefront and the wilder, scrub-covered ridges that rise toward the horizon. Life here proceeds with a tempered stillness, a persistent quietude that persists despite the proximity to the bustling thoroughfares that connect the interior valleys to the western shoreline.

About This Lake Sherwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Sherwood, California. Coordinates: 34.131803, -118.884714. 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 Lake Sherwood includes the ZIP code (91361), telephone area code (626), county seat of Ventura County (Ventura), and school district assignment (Conejo 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.
