How to Use This Pierpoint, California Map

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

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 Pierpoint, California

Pierpoint is a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 59. The population density is 55.8 people per km². Pierpoint is located at 36.1405°N, 118.6296°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 93265, 93208.

Pierpoint emerges from the rugged terrain where the South Fork Middle Fork Tule River carves a persistent, rhythmic path through the earth. It lies 22.2 miles east-northeast of Porterville, CA (from Porterville, CA: bearing 76°T), and is situated 25.9 miles east of Lindsay. Pierpoint sits firmly within the protected boundaries of the Giant Sequoia National Monument, where the air holds the ancient, resinous scent of towering conifers and the quiet gravity of high-altitude solitude. To the west, the land rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Sierra Nevada, while the immediate surroundings are defined by the uneven, steep inclines of the basin known as Coy Flat. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it clarifies, sharpening the serrated edges of the forest canopy and turning the dust of the dry season into fine, suspended gold.

Life in Pierpoint reflects the deliberate pace of a region shaped by timber harvesting and the stewardship of vast, wild acreage. History here is written in the silence of the woods and the remnants of early mountain industry, where the economy transitioned from extraction to the preservation of the landscape that defines the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Beyond the immediate settlement, the adventurous may seek the cooling mist of Cholollo Falls or traverse the challenging elevations of the Black Mountain Trail, while others find quietude near the waters of Hedrick Mill Pond. Pierpoint sustains itself through a blend of seasonal recreation and the quiet, stubborn endurance of those who choose to live where the shadows of the great trees stretch long and deep across the afternoon.

About This Pierpoint Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pierpoint, California. Coordinates: 36.1405, -118.6296. 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 Pierpoint includes the ZIP code (93265, 93208), telephone area code (661), county seat of Tulare County (Visalia), and school district assignment (Porterville Unified School District (9-12)).

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.
