Explore Pine Hills, 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 Pine Hills, 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 Pine Hills.
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.

Pine Hills emerges from the landscape where the meandering path of Orton Creek carves a cool, shadowed artery through the earth. It lies 4.8 miles south of Eureka, CA (from Eureka, CA: bearing 173°T), and is situated 9.9 miles south-southwest of Arcata. Moisture-laden air drifts inland from the Pacific Ocean, blanketing the ground in a soft, gray haze that clings to the vegetation until the sun burns it away by midday. The terrain is defined by the expansive presence of McKay Community Forest, which occupies the immediate surroundings and anchors the local topography. To the east, the distant, rugged peaks of the Klamath Mountains silhouette the horizon, while the nearby Shaw Gulch offers a deeper, sheltered fold in the land that catches the evening light. The climate remains temperate, characterized by the persistent interplay between the maritime influence of the coast and the inland heat that turns the grasses to a brittle, golden straw as the summer season wanes.
Pine Hills maintains a quiet, steady character shaped by its proximity to these natural corridors and the historical patterns of land stewardship. The local economy relies on a measured rhythm, drawing upon the resources of the surrounding timberlands and the quiet utility of the riparian zones. Residents often find their recreation along the Shorebird Loop Trail or near the quiet, sequestered waters of Catfish Lake, far from the frantic pace of larger metropolitan hubs. Life here is defined by the seasonal shifting of the light and the slow, deliberate movement of the fog as it retreats toward the Pacific Ocean. While the more distant Arcata Community Forest offers a broader expanse of woodland, the immediate environment remains focused on the preservation of the local ecosystem, ensuring that the legacy of the land remains as visible as the flow of Orton Creek.

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.
