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 Mendocino 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 anchors itself to the earth where the South Fork Eel River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid stillness of the morning. It lies 53.6 miles south-southeast of Fortuna, CA (from Fortuna, CA: bearing 156°T), and is situated 30.7 miles north of Fort Bragg. The surrounding terrain tilts toward the nearby Pacific Ocean, leaving the air perpetually charged with a saline mist that softens the jagged edges of the horizon. Nearby, the water of Mill Creek Falls descends in a shimmering, vertical ribbon, while the path of the Mill Creek Loop Trail winds toward the quiet expanse of Big Tree Meadow. Even in the height of summer, the moisture lingering from the coast keeps the vegetation lush, a stark contrast to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges that stand as silent sentinels against the sky.

Riverdale exists in quiet harmony with the Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area, an enduring preserve that defines the local relationship with the wilderness. The economy here moves at the pace of the seasons, rooted in a history of land stewardship that favors the patient cultivation of the soil over the frantic pulse of industrial growth. Residents often look toward the distant Shoreline Rock, a singular point of reference standing against the tide, while the deep, cool waters of Lewis Opening remain a sanctuary for those seeking the quietude of the interior. Life in Riverdale is measured by the rhythm of the river and the shifting light of the Pacific Ocean, creating a character that is as steady and enduring as the bedrock beneath the valley floor.

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 Mendocino County (Ukiah), 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.
