Explore Mentone, 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 Mentone, 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 Mentone.
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.

Mentone occupies a vast, sun-drenched expanse where the earth meets the wide, open sky of an arid interior plain. It lies 2.9 miles east-northeast of Redlands, CA (from Redlands, CA: bearing 70°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east-southeast of San Bernardino. The landscape surrounding Mentone is defined by the proximity of Sand Canyon, a geological feature that shapes the local horizon with its rugged, earth-toned contours. To the north, the San Bernardino Mountains stand as a silent, jagged backdrop, their peaks often catching the first amber light of dawn. Residents find a quiet connection to the land at the Citrus Grove - University Grove, where the scent of blossoms lingers heavy in the dry air. Nearby, the Redlands Aqueduct marks a steady, man-made rhythm against the otherwise untamed terrain of the inland basin.
Mentone emerged from a heritage of intensive agriculture, once serving as a vital node for the region’s expansive citrus production. The local economy shifted over decades, transitioning from the labor of orchards to a more diverse landscape of small enterprises and specialized services. Historical remnants of the railroad era still echo in the layout of the streets, reflecting a time when this junction was essential for transporting goods toward distant markets. Today, the economy remains grounded in the steady pulse of local commerce, supported by a workforce that values the persistence of traditional industriousness. Crafton Reservoir remains a silent witness to these changing tides, providing a necessary anchor for the local water table in a climate that demands careful stewardship.
Mentone carries a character defined by its deliberate pace and the distinct, golden quality of light that filters through the afternoon haze. The community gathers for local events that celebrate the seasonal rhythms of the inland climate, fostering a culture that prizes neighborly familiarity over urban anonymity. Adventure seekers often look toward the Santa Ana Divide Trail, which offers a path for those wishing to traverse the wilder reaches of the landscape. While the nearby San Bernardino National Forest offers vast expanses of protected wilderness, the daily life of Mentone remains focused on the quiet intersections of home and field. This place retains a singular, unvarnished identity that resists the homogenization of the surrounding metropolitan sprawl, keeping its own counsel under the heat of the summer sun.

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.
