How to Use This McGee Creek, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for McGee Creek, 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 McGee Creek.

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.

McGee Creek carves a persistent, silver thread through the high-desert basin, its cold waters channeling snowmelt from the high country across a landscape of sagebrush and volcanic rock. It lies 65.7 miles north-northeast of Heights, CA (from Heights, CA: bearing 32°T), and is situated 11.2 miles east-southeast of Mammoth Lakes. The terrain surrounding McGee Creek remains defined by the vast, open silence of the Inyo National Forest, where the air thins and sharpens against the palate. To the west, the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Sierra Nevada commands the horizon, casting long, bruised shadows over the basin floor as the sun dips low. Only two miles distant, the expansive surface of Lake Crowley acts as a mirror for the shifting clouds, while the nearby Esha Canyon offers a rugged, narrow passage into the earth’s crust, keeping the scale of the world here both immense and humbling.

History in this region is measured in the slow accumulation of sediment and the quiet persistence of those who worked the land before the modern era. The economy of McGee Creek relies on a seasonal pulse, drawing travelers who seek the solitude of the wilderness or the climb toward Horsetail Falls, which tumbles through the crags four miles away. Life here follows the rhythm of the seasons rather than the clock, with the local character shaped by the harsh, brilliant intensity of the light and the biting chill that settles in once the afternoon wanes. Those who frequent the Sherwin Lakes Trail eight miles to the north know the specific, dry scent of pine needles baking in the sun, a fragrance that lingers in the memory long after the dust of the road has been cleared.
