Explore Madison, 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 Madison, 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 Madison.
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.

Madison sits upon the flat, sun-bleached expanse of the Central Valley, where the horizon stretches wide and the air holds the dry, metallic scent of heated earth. It lies 10.5 miles west of Woodland, CA (from Woodland, CA: bearing 270°T), and is situated 2.8 miles east-southeast of Esparto. The South Fork Willow Slough carves a deliberate, quiet path through the surrounding fields, its banks lined with the tangled brush and sediment that define the low-lying agricultural plains. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouettes of the Coast Ranges hover like ghosts against the western sky, marking the edge of a world far removed from the immediate intensity of the sun. At the center of the local landscape, Tony Lopes Memorial Park provides a modest green anchor, offering a patch of shade where the light at dusk softens into a bruised, golden violet that settles over the flatlands.
Madison preserves the steady, patient rhythm of a place defined by the furrowed rows of seasonal crops and the slow movement of heavy machinery. The economy remains tethered to the fertility of the soil, with the legacy of agrarian life visible in the weathered grain silos and the quiet intersection of roads that connect the region to the broader trade routes of the state. Even in the heat of midday, the proximity of Perkins Canyon to the west influences the way the wind funnels across the open ground, cooling the evening hours just enough to draw people out from the shade of their porches. While the water of the Alfalfa Patch Reservoir remains miles away, the presence of the South Fork Willow Slough ensures that Madison retains a vital, if subtle, connection to the drainage patterns that have shaped this terrain for generations.

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.
