Explore Patton, 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 Patton, 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 Patton.
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.

Patton maintains a rugged, sun-drenched character defined by the persistent flow of Sand Creek as it carves a path through the dry earth. It lies 1.0 miles west-northwest of Highland, CA (from Highland, CA: bearing 301°T), and is situated 4.2 miles east-northeast of San Bernardino. This inland expanse is characterized by the presence of Patton Basin, which holds the stillness of the landscape under a wide, cloudless sky. To the north, the San Bernardino Mountains rise in jagged, hazy silhouettes against the horizon, providing a constant, imposing backdrop to the open terrain. The air here carries the scent of parched grasses and dust, shifting into a crisp, thin clarity as the sun dips low and casts long, violet shadows across the flat stretches of Sand Canyon.
Patton functions as a quiet intersection of regional movement, where the proximity of the San Bernardino Soccer Complex serves as a focal point for the daily energy of the residents. The economy relies on the steady rhythm of the surrounding interior infrastructure, far removed from the dampness of the distant coast, while the nearby National Childreaus Forest offers a dense, pine-scented contrast to the arid plains. Those seeking to traverse the wilder edges of the terrain often head toward the Little Sand Truck Trail, following paths that have been worn into the hard-packed soil over many years. Life in Patton moves with the deliberate pace of a place shaped by its own geography, where the heat of the afternoon gives way to a profound, cooling silence that descends over the basin at dusk.

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.
