How to Use This Silver City, California Map

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

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 Silver City, California

Silver City is a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. Silver City is located at 36.4661°N, 118.6459°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 93262.

Silver City emerges as a high-altitude sanctuary where the East Fork Kaweah River carves a restless, crystalline path through the rugged terrain of Sequoia National Park. It lies 30.0 miles east-northeast of Exeter, CA (from Exeter, CA: bearing 67°T), and is situated 14.5 miles east of Three Rivers. Granite slopes rise in silent, jagged communion with the sky, while the air maintains a sharp, thin clarity that defines the character of the high Sierra Nevada. Only a few miles away, the stillness of Mineral Lakes reflects the towering timber, and the distant, frozen weight of Lilliput Glacier acts as a cold, ancient anchor to the landscape. Below the canopy, the Atwell Hockett Trail winds through the undergrowth, offering a passage toward the grandeur of Giant Forest, where the earth feels heavy with the slow, deliberate pulse of centuries.

Silver City maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasons, shifting from a secluded summer retreat to a quiet, snow-bound enclave when winter descends upon the peaks. The local economy persists as a seasonal endeavor, catering to those who seek the profound silence of the wilderness rather than the frantic pace of the lowlands. Visitors often journey toward the mist of Tufa Falls or traverse the meadows near Little Sand Meadow, finding a unique solitude that has persisted since the early days of prospectors and loggers who first navigated these steep, unforgiving slopes. Silver City remains a place of endurance, where the labor of the past has faded into a quiet stewardship of the land, leaving behind a legacy defined not by industry, but by the preservation of the immense, vertical wild.

About This Silver City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Silver City, California. Coordinates: 36.466054, -118.645928. 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 Silver City includes the ZIP code (93262), telephone area code (661), county seat of Tulare County (Visalia), and school district assignment (Woodlake Unified School District (9-12)).

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.
