Explore Las Flores, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Las Flores, 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 Las Flores.
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.

Las Flores occupies a narrow, rugged sliver of earth where the steep walls of Las Flores Canyon descend abruptly to meet the Pacific Ocean. It lies 6.3 miles west of Pacific Palisades, CA (from Pacific Palisades, CA: bearing 263°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west of Santa Monica. The landscape is defined by this dramatic transition, where the arid, sun-bleached slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains provide a distant, looming backdrop to the salt-sprayed shoreline. Within the immediate vicinity, Las Flores Creek Park offers a quiet respite, preserving the natural drainage of the canyon floor as it funnels toward the tide. The air here holds a distinct, heavy dampness, often thickened by a morning gray fog that clings to the cliffs before dissolving into the bright, relentless clarity of the afternoon sun. Out in the water, the jagged silhouette of Big Rock breaks the horizon, serving as a silent, monolithic anchor for the shifting currents.
History in Las Flores remains tethered to the precarious geography of the canyon and the thin strip of land bordering the water. The local economy and daily patterns are largely shaped by the rhythm of the coastal transit corridor, as residents navigate the tension between the seclusion of the hills and the constant, fluid movement of the Pacific Ocean. While Malibu Creek and Malibu Lagoon sit a few miles away, serving as ecological touchstones for the broader region, the character of Las Flores remains intensely localized, defined by the precarious beauty of living on the edge of a continental shelf. Life here moves in concert with the seasonal cycle of the land, shifting from the emerald growth of winter to the tinder-dry, golden husks of late summer, when the heat settles into the bedrock and the entire coast waits for the winds to shift.

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.
