Explore Sloughhouse, 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 Sloughhouse, 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 Sloughhouse.
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.

Sloughhouse occupies a quiet expanse of the inland prairie, where the landscape is defined by the steady, persistent presence of Deer Creek cutting through the soil. It lies 8.6 miles east-northeast of Vineyard, CA (from Vineyard, CA: bearing 75°T), and is situated 8.7 miles southeast of Rancho Cordova. The terrain here is characterized by vast, open stretches of oak savanna that turn a brittle, pale gold under the heat of the summer sun. Two miles to the east, the waters of Blodgett Reservoir hold a stillness that mirrors the intensity of the cloudless sky, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges marks the western horizon like a fading charcoal sketch. The air in Sloughhouse carries the dry, earthen scent of sun-baked grasses and the heavy, still silence that often precedes the cooling of the evening.
History clings to Sloughhouse in the form of weathered structures and remnants of a time when the crossing of the creek served as a vital node for travelers moving through the interior. Today, the economy remains rooted in the rhythm of the land, with agricultural ventures and sprawling pastures forming the primary texture of daily life. Residents find space for recreation at Kavala Ranch Park, a place that preserves the openness of the plains rather than imposing upon them. Life here moves with the slow, deliberate pace of a region that has long favored the quiet productivity of the soil over the frantic pulse of the urban centers located toward the basin of Nimbus Flat.

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.
