How to Use This Riverdale, California Map

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

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 Riverdale, California

Riverdale is a locality in Fresno County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,477. The population density is 342.0 people per km². Riverdale is located at 36.4304°N, 119.8672°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95585, 93656.

Riverdale emerges from the flat, sun-drenched expanse of the Central Valley as a quiet grid of streets defined by the relentless, golden light of the inland plains. It lies 10.0 miles north-northwest of Lemoore, CA (from Lemoore, CA: bearing 335°T), and is situated 13.9 miles west-northwest of Hanford. The horizon remains vast and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of the Sierra Nevada that anchors the eastern view in a jagged, pale blue line. Murphy Slough snakes through the peripheral fields, a slow-moving artery that sustains the heavy, dark soil and dictates the rhythm of the surrounding landscape. During the late afternoon, the shadows lengthen across the dust-moted air, turning the fields into a study of ochre and burnt sienna, while the nearby Hickey Park offers a small, shaded respite of oak and wild grass where the heat of the day finally relents.

Agriculture serves as the pulse of Riverdale, with rows of nut orchards and expansive crop lands extending toward the horizon like a well-tended garden. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest, a tradition that has shaped the character of the settlement since its early days as a point of transit for the valley’s bounty. Life here moves with the measured pace of a seasonal calendar, far removed from the pressures of more urbanized corridors. While Prather Pond sits ten miles away in a quiet, seasonal depression, the true essence of Riverdale is found in the local storefronts and the steady hum of machinery that marks the productive hours of the week. It is a place where the stillness of the plains encourages a deep familiarity with the land, allowing the residents to exist in a persistent, sun-warmed equilibrium.

About This Riverdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riverdale, California. Coordinates: 36.430402, -119.867178. 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 Riverdale includes the ZIP code (95585, 93656), telephone area code (530, 760), county seat of Fresno County (Fresno), and school district assignment (Riverdale Joint Unified School District).

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.
