How to Use This Lone Pine, California Map

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

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.

Lone Pine draws its name from a singular, resilient tree that once stood as a landmark against the vast, arid expanse of the high desert. It lies 63.5 miles east-northeast of Lindsay, CA (from Lindsay, CA: bearing 64°T), and is situated 59.0 miles east-northeast of Woodlake. The landscape surrounding Lone Pine is defined by the crystalline rush of Lone Pine Creek, which carves a path through the gravel and dust, offering a cool reprieve from the relentless intensity of the sun. To the west, the jagged, imposing silhouette of the Sierra Nevada commands the horizon, casting long, violet shadows across the valley floor as the day wanes. Only three miles away, the stillness of Diaz Lake reflects the stark, cloudless sky, while the weathered rock formations of Movie Flat rise from the earth like the remnants of a forgotten geological age. The air here carries a dry, sharp clarity, smelling faintly of sagebrush and the ancient, mineral-rich dust that settles over the basin.

History in Lone Pine is written in the grit of those who arrived seeking fortune or refuge, leaving behind a legacy that has shaped the modern economy into a hub for those drawn to the rugged, untamed terrain of Inyo Other. The local rhythm is dictated by the seasons and the shifting light, as travelers pass through on their way to the high country or the Meysan Trail, seeking the solitude that only such an expansive, vertical landscape can provide. For decades, the dramatic geology has served as a backdrop for countless motion pictures, turning the nearby desert into a canvas for human imagination. Despite the transient nature of the visitors, a quiet, steady life persists among the residents, anchored by the resilience required to thrive in a place where the earth itself feels raw and unfinished.

About This Lone Pine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lone Pine, California. Coordinates: 36.574447, -118.08061. 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 Lone Pine includes the ZIP code (93545), telephone area code (760), county seat of Inyo County (Independence), and school district assignment (Lone Pine 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.
