How to Use This Lawndale, California Map

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

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.

Lawndale occupies a quiet expanse of inland territory where the golden, tinder-dry grasses of the late summer lean into the shifting light of the afternoon. It lies 7.9 miles east of Santa Rosa, CA (from Santa Rosa, CA: bearing 100°T), and is situated 9.1 miles northeast of Rohnert Park. Sonoma Creek traces a wandering path through the landscape, its seasonal flow carving subtle depressions into the earth as it moves toward the deeper shadows of Frey Canyon. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Coast Ranges anchors the horizon, their jagged edges softened by the haze that often settles over the valley floor. Residents find a quiet connection to the land at Trione-Annadel State Park, where the terrain shifts into oak-studded woodland, or along the Lawndale Trail, which winds through the local flora with a rhythmic, predictable grace. Lake Ilsanjo glimmers three miles away, a steady mirror for the sky that defines the quiet, terrestrial character of the surrounding plains.

Agriculture and the steady pulse of local commerce have shaped the development of Lawndale, grounding its growth in the rhythms of the interior rather than the frantic pace of the coast. The economy reflects a practical heritage, balancing the legacy of the soil with the modern demands of a regional hub that has evolved from its early agrarian roots into a place of settled residential life. Evenings in Lawndale bring a cooling relief, as the heat of the day dissipates and the atmosphere takes on a sharp, clear clarity that defines the inland experience. The social fabric is woven from the quiet persistence of those who call these plains home, creating a space where the passage of time is marked not by the tides, but by the slow rotation of the seasons across the open, sun-bleached fields.

About This Lawndale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lawndale, California. Coordinates: 33.888435, -118.353143. 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 Lawndale includes the ZIP code (95452, 90260), telephone area code (408, 669, 310, 424), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Centinela Valley Union High 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.
