How to Use This Point Richmond, California Map

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

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.

Point Richmond occupies a rugged promontory where the land abruptly yields to the insistent salt-tide of the Pacific Ocean. It lies 2.4 miles west-southwest of Richmond, CA (from Richmond, CA: bearing 250°T), and is situated 7.3 miles west-northwest of Berkeley. The physical character of Point Richmond is defined by steep, uneven terrain that lifts sharply from the shoreline, offering a vantage point over the shifting currents and the jagged silhouette of Red Rock visible in the distance. The climate here is marked by the persistent intrusion of maritime fog that softens the hard edges of the landscape, while the Miller Knox Regional Shoreline preserves the raw, unadorned coastal scrub that clings to the hillside. Beyond the immediate shore, the distant, hazy outlines of the Coast Ranges provide a muted backdrop to a place where the air tastes perpetually of brine and the light carries a pale, oceanic clarity that seems to sharpen the senses.

History in Point Richmond remains anchored to a legacy of maritime industry and the quiet persistence of a turn-of-the-century village core that escaped the leveling hand of modern expansion. While the economy has transitioned from the heavy industrial rhythms of the past to a more diverse, intimate collection of local shops and professional life, the echoes of labor still linger in the architecture of the older streets. Residents move with a deliberate pace, navigating the hillsides where the influence of Wildcat Creek, located only two miles away, reminds the observer of the unseen water moving through the earth. Even as the modern world presses in, Point Richmond maintains a distinct, island-like insularity, a place where the social fabric is stitched together by the shared experience of living on the edge of a vast, indifferent sea.
