Explore March ARB, 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 March ARB, 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 March ARB.
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.

March ARB occupies a vast, sun-bleached plateau where the earth holds the heat of the afternoon long after the shadows lengthen across the dry, golden grasses of Moreno Valley. It lies 3.7 miles south-southwest of Moreno Valley, CA (from Moreno Valley, CA: bearing 209°T), and is situated 8.8 miles east-southeast of Riverside. The horizon is defined by the distant, jagged silhouette of the San Bernardino Mountains, standing as silent sentinels over a landscape where the air is thin, dry, and charged with the hum of persistent industry. A mile away, the Perris Valley Storm Drain carves a shallow, utilitarian path through the parched soil, while the nearby Valley Skate Park offers a stark contrast of concrete geometry against the expanse of open scrubland. During the quiet hours of dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular amber, casting a sharp clarity over the brush and the distant, shimmering surface of Perris Reservoir, which sits four miles away like a cool, singular eye in the arid basin.
March ARB began its life as a pivot point for twentieth-century aviation, evolving from a frontier airfield into a heavy-duty engine of logistics and national defense that dictates the pulse of the surrounding terrain. The local economy is tethered to this constant movement, a complex machinery of warehouses and transit hubs that sprawl across the basin floor, echoing the industrious spirit of a region built on rapid expansion and utility. While the North Mountain Experimental Area remains a distant, forested study of natural resilience nineteen miles to the north, the immediate vicinity is defined by the rhythm of heavy transport and the meticulous maintenance of the flight line. Life here moves with a singular, functional purpose, grounded in the hard-packed soil and the relentless, bright overhead sun that defines the character of the inland plains.

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.
