How to Use This Live Oak, California Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Live Oak, 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 Live Oak.
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 Live Oak, California
Live Oak is a locality in Sacramento County, California, United States. It has a population of 17,038. The population density is 2028.5 people per km². Live Oak is located at 36.9860°N, 121.9804°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95683, 95953, 95065.Live Oak emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the valley floor, where the horizon stretches wide and the light at dusk settles in heavy, amber layers across the fields. It lies 13.6 miles south-southwest of Cameron Park, CA (from Cameron Park, CA: bearing 200°T), and is situated 1.7 miles southeast of Rancho Murieta. The landscape surrounding Live Oak is defined by the quiet presence of the Cosumnes River, which meanders through the plains just a mile away, and the calm, reflective surface of Lake Clementia. While the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Coast Ranges provide a rugged boundary eighty miles to the west, the immediate terrain remains defined by the open, sun-bleached character of inland plains. Here, the air carries a dry, crisp weight, and the vegetation is shaped by the interplay of seasonal shifts that turn the earth from a vibrant, verdant green to a deep, brittle gold under the relentless summer sun.
Agriculture dictates the tempo of existence in Live Oak, where the rhythm of the seasons is measured by the tilling, planting, and harvesting of the surrounding fertile soil. The proximity of the Cosumnes River Parkway offers a rare, protected corridor of native growth, reminding those who walk its paths of the wilder, uncultivated history that once dominated this basin before the arrival of modern irrigation and homesteading. Economic life here remains deeply tethered to the productivity of the land, with local operations leaning into the bounty of the valley to sustain the population. Life in Live Oak moves with a steady, deliberate pace, where the connection to the cycles of the earth is not merely a historical curiosity but a constant, visible reality that defines the character of the day.

About This Live Oak Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Live Oak, California. Coordinates: 36.986024, -121.980413. 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 Live Oak includes the ZIP code (95683, 95953, 95065), telephone area code (530, 408, 669), county seat of Sacramento County (Sacramento), and school district assignment (Santa Cruz City High School District (9-12)).
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.
