Explore Pomona, 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 Pomona, 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 Pomona.
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.

Pomona occupies a vast, sun-drenched expanse of the inland basin where the air holds the dry, expectant heat of the late afternoon. It lies 3.3 miles south-southeast of La Verne, CA (from La Verne, CA: bearing 164°T), and is situated 5.8 miles west of Ontario. The landscape is defined by a wide, gentle topography that leans toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the San Gabriel Mountains, which mark the northern edge of the horizon. Nearer to the center of activity, Thompson Wash carves a modest, seasonal path through the earth, a subtle reminder of the water that occasionally reclaims the thirsty ground. When evening descends, the light turns a deep, bruised gold, casting long shadows across the Civic Center Plaza that stretch toward the edges of the neighborhood streets, grounding Pomona in the quiet, dusty reality of the inland plains.
Development within Pomona emerged from the legacy of the citrus industry, which once blanketed the valley floor with rows of fragrant, waxen leaves and heavy, ripening fruit. The arrival of the railroad transformed the settlement from a collection of groves into a bustling hub of commerce and transit, drawing those who sought to cultivate the land and build a future in the temperate, Mediterranean climate. Early settlers found a rhythm dictated by the seasons of the harvest, establishing a foundation that balanced agricultural ambition with the steady expansion of municipal life. Today, the traces of this history remain visible in the older, shaded streets of Pomona, where architecture still whispers of a time when the orchards reached as far as the eye could see.
Economic vitality in Pomona flows through a diverse network of logistics, manufacturing, and educational institutions that sustain the daily pulse of the region. The proximity to Puddingstone Reservoir offers a quiet, shimmering contrast to the industrial corridors, providing a space where the pace slows and the reflection of the sky ripples against the banks. Higher education anchors the intellectual life of the area, with institutions like California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, training the next generation of engineers and designers who will shape the future of the region’s infrastructure. As the workday ends, the movement of people across the sprawling grids of streets reflects a modern, industrious character that keeps Pomona moving forward through constant, purposeful activity.
Cultural expression in Pomona thrives within a vibrant, eclectic atmosphere that finds its center in local festivals and the persistent, creative energy of its inhabitants. The annual Los Angeles County Fair brings a sense of communal celebration to the fairgrounds, drawing visitors who wander among the exhibits and stalls under the wide, cloudless sky. For those seeking the solace of nature, the San Dimas Experimental Forest offers a rugged, protected terrain for contemplation, while the spray of Wolfskill Falls provides a fleeting, cool reprieve during the warmer months. Notable figures, including the musician Frank Zappa, once walked these same streets, their influence lingering in the unconventional and artistic spirit that continues to define the identity of Pomona.

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.
