Explore Peters, 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 Peters, 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 Peters.
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.

Peters occupies a flat, sun-drenched expanse of the Central Valley where the horizon stretches wide and indifferent under a high, pale sky. It lies 9.9 miles east of Garden Acres, CA (from Garden Acres, CA: bearing 83°T), and is situated 3.4 miles southeast of Linden. The landscape around Peters consists of expansive agricultural fields and dry, open plains, punctuated by the occasional silhouette of an oak tree that breaks the relentless line of the earth. In the far distance, the faint, hazy contours of the Coast Ranges hover like ghosts against the clouds, reminding the observer of the vast distance between this inland soil and the Pacific edge. During the summer heat, the air shimmeringly thickens, and the light takes on a sharp, golden clarity that turns the dried grasses to the color of burnt straw, lending a quiet, contemplative weight to the afternoon.
Mormon Slough traces a slow, meandering path through the earth just a short distance away, serving as a reminder of the water that once dictated the rhythm of early settlement and continues to nourish the surrounding orchards and crops. The economy of Peters remains deeply rooted in this fertile, working terrain, driven by the steady, unpretentious labor of agriculture that defines the local character. While the pace of life maintains a deliberate, quiet consistency, the nearby presence of South Gulch and the recreational waters of Woodward Reservoir offer brief, localized departures from the daily routine of the fields. Even the proximity of Garden Acres Park provides a modest, green relief from the sun-baked plains, anchoring the people of Peters to the land that has sustained them through generations of seasonal harvests.

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.
