Explore Mount Bullion, 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 Mount Bullion, 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 Mount Bullion.
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.

Mount Bullion commands a rugged prominence where the dry, golden-hued foothills rise toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Sierra Nevada. It lies 27.9 miles east-northeast of Merced, CA (from Merced, CA: bearing 59°T), and is situated 32.9 miles east-northeast of Atwater. The air here holds a sharp, resinous clarity, smelling of parched manzanita and sun-baked earth, while the terrain tilts sharply into the deep, shadowed creases of Tailings Gulch. Only a mile away, Sand Creek carves a seasonal path through the stone, its bed often reduced to a scatter of bleached pebbles under the relentless intensity of the afternoon sun. Four miles to the west, the protected expanse of Stockton Creek Preserve offers a sanctuary of oak savanna, where the landscape retains a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the wider world.
Mount Bullion bears the indelible marks of a bygone era when the frantic pursuit of ore dictated the rhythm of every day. Remnants of that extractive economy persist in the scarred terrain, a physical ledger of the labor that once defined the local character. While the roar of the mines has long since faded into the silence of the scrubland, the legacy of that ambition remains etched into the very stones of the slopes. Seven miles distant, the waters of Lake McClure reflect the shifting colors of the sky, providing a reservoir of quietude that contrasts with the intense, sun-drenched history of the surrounding ridges. Life in Mount Bullion now moves with a deliberate, tempered gravity, favoring the slow cycles of the seasons over the transient urgencies of modern industry.

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.
