How to Use This Rimforest, California Map

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

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 Rimforest, California

Rimforest is a locality in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 55.0 people per km². Rimforest is located at 34.2297°N, 117.2250°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 92378.

Rimforest holds a firm, solitary presence amidst the rugged, ascending slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains. It lies 2.4 miles west-southwest of Lake Arrowhead, CA (from Lake Arrowhead, CA: bearing 238°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north-northeast of San Bernardino. Strawberry Creek carves a persistent path through the terrain, its waters animating the deep, shadowed creases of the landscape before descending toward the basin of Daley Canyon. The air here thins and cools, carrying the sharp, resinous scent of pine needles that carpet the vast expanse of the San Bernardino National Forest. During the golden hour, the light catches the high, jagged ridges, casting long, violet shadows that stretch across the broken ground, while the distant, shimmering surface of Silverwood Lake remains a sequestered reminder of the water that sustains these high-altitude woodlands.

Rimforest serves as a quiet transition point for those traveling the winding arteries that navigate the steep topography, functioning as a waypoint where the labor of the forest and the rhythm of mountain living intersect. The economy remains tethered to the natural environment, with the nearby Daley Road Truck Trail facilitating the movement of supplies and the steady, rhythmic persistence of local industry. History here is written in the timber and the grit of the earth, as residents maintain a life defined by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding wilderness. The atmosphere is marked by a deliberate stillness, where the rustle of dry brush and the occasional passage of a vehicle are the primary interruptions to the steady, enduring silence of the high country.

About This Rimforest Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rimforest, California. Coordinates: 34.229729, -117.225042. 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 Rimforest includes the ZIP code (92378), telephone area code (909), county seat of San Bernardino County (San Bernardino), and school district assignment.

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.
