How to Use This Sunland, California Map

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

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 Sunland, California

Sunland is a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. Sunland is located at 36.0225°N, 118.9823°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 91042, 93257, 91040.

Sunland emerges from the parched, golden expanse of the interior, defined by a rugged topography that rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Sierra Nevada. It lies 3.5 miles south-southeast of Porterville, CA (from Porterville, CA: bearing 147°T), and is situated 2.4 miles south of East Porterville. Deer Creek carves a narrow, seasonal path through the dry terrain, its banks offering a rare, verdant contrast to the sun-bleached grasses that define the local horizon. The air here carries a dry, persistent warmth, especially as the afternoon light catches the dust motes dancing above the Yaudanchi Ecological Reserve, where native shrubs hold the soil against the relentless heat. Beyond the immediate brush, the terrain descends toward the quiet depression of Hungry Hollow, a feature that anchors the region in a vast, silent basin.

Sunland retains the character of an enduring agrarian outpost, its economy historically tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the cycles of the seasons. The proximity to Lake Success provides a vital, shimmering point of reference in an otherwise arid landscape, drawing those who seek a reprieve from the inland glare. Life in Sunland moves with a deliberate, measured pace, reflecting a history of endurance and quiet adaptation to the constraints of the climate. Modern residents navigate a landscape where the remnants of earlier agricultural efforts still linger in the fence lines and irrigation ditches, grounding the daily routine in a tradition of land stewardship that remains fundamental to the identity of Sunland.

About This Sunland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sunland, California. Coordinates: 36.022452, -118.982322. 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 Sunland includes the ZIP code (91042, 93257, 91040), telephone area code (661, 310, 424), county seat of Tulare County (Visalia), and school district assignment.

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.
