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 Sutter 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 occupies a flat, expansive stretch of the Sacramento Valley, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed under a sky that shifts from pale, dusty blue to a deep, bruised violet at dusk. It lies 9.6 miles north-northwest of Yuba City, CA (from Yuba City, CA: bearing 346°T), and is situated 9.7 miles north-northwest of Marysville. The Feather River traces a quiet path just a mile to the east, its presence marked by the thick, verdant growth of riparian brush that contrasts against the surrounding agricultural fields. Within the municipal borders, Oak Tree Park offers a modest, shaded respite where the air seems to hold the scent of dry grass and sun-warmed earth. In the distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Coast Ranges provides a permanent, hazy boundary to the west, appearing as little more than a smudge of charcoal against the intense, golden light of the late afternoon.
Live Oak functions as a quiet center for the surrounding orchards and cropland, where the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictates the fundamental pace of life. The economy remains tethered to this fertile landscape, with rows of fruit and nut trees defining the perimeter of the community as they have for generations. Residents move through their days with a steady, pragmatic rhythm, often navigating the proximity of Wyman Ravine to the south or traveling toward the cooling waters of the Thermalito Afterbay when the summer heat settles heavily over the valley floor. There is a distinct, unadorned quality to the place, a sense that the identity of Live Oak is tied firmly to the soil and the persistent, industrious work required to coax a living from the expansive plains.

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 Sutter County (Yuba City), 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.
