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.

About Mountain View, California
Mountain View is a locality in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It has a population of 82,376. The population density is 2659.8 people per km². Mountain View is located at 37.3997°N, 122.0793°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. Mountain View is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 92392, 92113, 94043.Mountain View commands a wide, sun-drenched expanse where the earth stretches toward the horizon in a tapestry of dry grass and low-slung brush. It lies 4.4 miles west-southwest of Victorville, CA (from Victorville, CA: bearing 242°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north-northwest of Hesperia. The air here holds a distinct, parched clarity, carrying the scent of heated soil across the open plains that define the local topography. To the north, the San Bernardino Mountains rise in a jagged, purple silhouette against the sky, their presence a constant, silent guardian over the arid basin. Near the quiet pathways of Brentwood Park, the ground is hard and resolute, reflecting a landscape that has long been shaped by the slow, seasonal migration of water through the Oro Grande Wash. In the late afternoon, the light turns a deep, bruised amber, casting long shadows that emphasize the vast, unyielding scale of the terrain.
Mountain View evolved from a landscape once defined by agricultural rhythms into a center of modern industry, shifting its character as the economy moved from the field to the laboratory. While the proximity to Apple Valley provides a sense of open space, the daily pulse of Mountain View is driven by a restless, intellectual energy that seeks to reshape the world from within climate-controlled glass walls. Residents often find respite in the nearby reach of Silverwood Lake, a rare blue anchor in a region otherwise dominated by dust and golden, tinder-dry earth. History here is marked not by grand monuments, but by the steady, persistent transformation of the soil into a hub of innovation, where the labor of the past remains etched in the quiet, dusty corners of the local roads.

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 San Bernardino County (San Bernardino), 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.
