Explore Seeley, 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 Seeley, 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 Seeley.
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.

Seeley anchors itself upon a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising against the weight of a dry, heavy sky. It lies 7.4 miles west of El Centro, CA (from El Centro, CA: bearing 271°T), and is situated 8.0 miles west-southwest of Imperial. The air here holds a stillness that defines the landscape, a shimmering heat that distorts the edges of the distant West Mesa as it rises above the arid floor. Only a mile away, the New River carves a narrow, persistent path through the dust, its presence marked by the low, scrubby growth that clings to its banks in defiance of the surrounding parched earth. To the east, the Salton Sea exerts a silent, saline pull on the atmosphere, while the faint, jagged silhouette of Sunrise Butte interrupts the monotony of the skyline. Within the quiet perimeter of Robert Bates Memorial Park, the light at dusk turns a bruised violet, casting long, stark shadows that reveal the true, unadorned geometry of the plains.
Seeley grew from the necessity of the soil, a settlement born of irrigation and the stubborn ambition to draw life from a desert basin. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, with rows of crops pushing against the limits of the irrigation canals that sustain the regional agriculture. History here is written in the maintenance of these water lines and the steady, mechanical labor of farmers who understand the specific temperament of this alkaline ground. Life in Seeley moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has learned to wait for the seasons to turn, characterized by the low hum of machinery and the persistent, dry wind that sweeps across the fields. It is a place where the grandeur is found not in vertical relief, but in the sheer, horizontal reach of the land and the way the evening sun settles over the furrows, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the cooling air.

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.
