How to Use This Sheridan, California Map

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

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 Sheridan, California

Sheridan is a locality in Sonoma County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,385. The population density is 20.9 people per km². Sheridan is located at 38.9731°N, 121.3509°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95430, 95681.

Sheridan occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic presence of the Russian River, which carves a path through the earth less than a mile from its center. It lies 13.2 miles west-southwest of Windsor, CA (from Windsor, CA: bearing 245°T), and is situated 6.7 miles west-southwest of Hacienda. The terrain is deeply shaped by the presence of Sheridan Gulch, creating a basin that collects the cool, heavy moisture of the Pacific Ocean just five miles to the west. On clear mornings, the light here has a sharp, crystalline quality, cutting through the low-hanging fog that drifts in from the coast to cling to the vegetation. Visitors often venture toward the nearby Sonoma Coast State Park, a vast stretch of protected land that buffers the region from the more rugged, distant Coast Ranges visible on the horizon. The proximity of Jenner Pond adds a quiet, reflective stillness to the local topography, anchoring the surrounding woods in a cycle of seasonal saturation and summer drought.

Sheridan maintains a quiet economy tethered to the land, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the pace of daily affairs. History remains visible in the way the land was cleared and organized, a legacy that survives in the modest architecture and the winding routes that trace the contours of the gulch. Residents often traverse the Monte Rio Fire Trail to gain a vantage point over the terrain, observing the shifting patterns of the river below. While the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean is felt in the salt-heavy air, the character of Sheridan remains distinct, defined by the intersection of the water and the deep, silent growth of the surrounding trees. Life here follows a measured cadence, seemingly untouched by the rapid expansion found in more urbanized corridors, focusing instead on the preservation of the immediate environment and the steady, unhurried flow of the river toward the sea.

About This Sheridan Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sheridan, California. Coordinates: 38.973111, -121.350946. 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 Sheridan includes the ZIP code (95430, 95681), telephone area code (408, 669, 530), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Western Placer 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.
