How to Use This Mountain View, California Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mountain View, 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 Mountain View.
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.

It lies 1.2 miles southeast of Martinez, CA (from Martinez, CA: bearing 129°T), and is situated 5.2 miles west-northwest of Concord. The landscape remains defined by the presence of Martinez Reservoir, which mirrors the vast, pale sky, while the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean drifts inland across the low-lying terrain. To the distant horizon, the Coast Ranges sketch a faint, violet silhouette against the afternoon haze, anchoring the view in a quiet, geological permanence. Within the quiet perimeter of Mountainview Park, the air carries a crisp scent of salt and drying grass, a reminder that the wilder, open coastline is merely a mile away.

The local economy thrives on an industry of invisible currents and rapid innovation, transforming the character of the land into a hub of global reach. Nearby, the Arroyo del Hambre carves its path toward the sea, a modest, earthen reminder of the water that once sustained the early settlers. Beyond the reach of the bustling avenues, the Seal Islands rest in the distance, punctuating the stillness of the coastal waters. Life in Mountain View moves with a deliberate, forward-looking cadence, where the golden light of late summer settles over the neighborhood streets, illuminating a landscape that balances the weight of its agricultural roots with the restless energy of the present.

About This Mountain View Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mountain View, California. Coordinates: 37.399686, -122.079269. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Mountain View includes the ZIP code (92392, 92113, 94043), telephone area code (714, 415, 628), county seat of Contra Costa County (Martinez), and school district assignment (Mountain View-Los Altos Union School District).
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.
