How to Use This Nice, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Nice, 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 Nice.

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 Nice, California

Nice is a locality in Lake County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,929. The population density is 654.8 people per km². Nice is located at 39.1232°N, 122.8483°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95464, 95485.

Nice holds its ground within a landscape defined by the quiet, sun-bleached expanse of the Forty Springs Valley. It lies 16.5 miles northwest of Clearlake, CA (from Clearlake, CA: bearing 314°T), and is situated 6.6 miles north-northeast of Lakeport. Golden grasses turn brittle under the weight of the summer heat, while the oak savanna offers intermittent shade against the insistent glare of the afternoon sun. Gilbert Creek winds its way through the periphery, a thin vein of seasonal moisture carving a path through the dry earth. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges marks the limit of the horizon, a jagged blue line against the pale sky. Hinman County Park provides a expanse of open space where the land remains largely untamed, inviting the slow observation of shadows lengthening across the plains as the light transitions from sharp brilliance to a soft, amber glow.

Nice reflects a history of modest settlement, where the economy has long been anchored by the rhythms of agriculture and the land’s quiet productivity. The pace of life here is dictated by the turning of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pulse of the urban centers. Travelers seeking the solitude of the wilderness often find their way toward the Middle Creek Flat Trail, while the more distant waters of Indian Valley Reservoir remain a point of quiet orientation for the region. The character of Nice is forged in this inland stillness, a place where the air carries the dry scent of dust and cured hay, and where the daily routines of the inhabitants remain tethered to the enduring, unadorned reality of the valley floor.

About This Nice Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nice, California. Coordinates: 39.123225, -122.848327. 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 Nice includes the ZIP code (95464, 95485), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Lake County (Lakeport), and school district assignment (Upper Lake Unified 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.
