Explore Mokelumne Hill, 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 Mokelumne Hill, 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 Mokelumne Hill.
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.

Mokelumne Hill occupies a rugged prominence of earth, where the terrain shifts from the flat stretches of the agricultural interior into a complex architecture of ridges and steep ravines. It lies 27.9 miles south-southeast of Diamond Springs, CA (from Diamond Springs, CA: bearing 168°T), and is situated 5.0 miles southeast of Jackson. The landscape here is characterized by oak savanna and dry grasses that bleach to a pale straw color under the intense, unrelenting glare of the summer sun. Below the settlement, the Mokelumne River carves a deep, serpentine path through the bedrock, while the distant Sierra Nevada provides a jagged, blue-tinted spine against the eastern sky. Shutter Tree Park sits at the center of the village, serving as a quiet anchor where the shadows lengthen across the dust in the late afternoon, revealing the sheer, weathered textures of the stone buildings that define the streetscape.
Mokelumne Hill preserves the architectural remnants of a volatile era, its stone structures standing as silent witnesses to the gold-seeking throngs that once surged through these hills. The economy, long since transitioned from the feverish extraction of precious metals, now maintains a slower pace, sustained by those who cultivate the land and manage the quietude of the backcountry. Life here is defined by the seasonal rhythm of the inland climate, far removed from the cooling influence of the coast, where the dry heat of midday yields to a sharp, cooling stillness at dusk. Travelers venturing toward the higher elevations may glimpse the dense canopy of Mount Zion State Forest or navigate the terrain toward the quiet, glassy surface of Lake Tabeaud, yet the character of the place remains firmly rooted in its own distinct history and the unyielding geometry of Volunteer Gulch.

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.
