Explore Moonridge, 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 Moonridge, 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 Moonridge.
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.

Moonridge occupies a rugged high-altitude plateau where the thin, crisp air carries the scent of dry pine and cooling earth. It lies 1.9 miles south-southwest of Big Bear City, CA (from Big Bear City, CA: bearing 199°T), and is situated 3.2 miles east of Big Bear Lake. Rathbun Creek carves a quiet, seasonal path through the landscape, its rocky bed tracing the lower edges of the terrain as it winds toward the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, which loom nine miles distant with a sharp, jagged permanence. Bow Canyon creates a sudden, deep depression that defines the local topography, acting as a natural corridor where shadows lengthen early in the afternoon. The light here possesses a distinct, pale clarity, casting long, thin silhouettes across the scrub brush and the sparse, hardy trees that cling to the dusty soil.
Moonridge exists as a place of deliberate, quiet persistence, anchored by the presence of Animal Park, which serves as a central point for local activity. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the seasons, shifting between the quiet stillness of the off-months and the influx of those seeking the solace of the high country. Residents often find their way to the Seven Oaks Trail, a path that offers a steady ascent into the surrounding wild, leading eventually toward the denser reaches of the National Childreaus Forest. History here is written in the slow reclamation of the land by the brush, a process that ensures the pace of life remains slow, dictated more by the tilt of the sun than the turning of a clock.

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.
