How to Use This Sunnyside, California Map

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

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 Sunnyside, California

Sunnyside is a locality in Placer County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,627. The population density is 933.9 people per km². Sunnyside is located at 36.7294°N, 119.6945°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 96145, 93727.

Sunnyside emerges from the forest edge as a quiet clearing where the deep, cold blue of Lake Tahoe defines the horizon. It lies 12.9 miles south of Truckee, CA (from Truckee, CA: bearing 173°T), and is situated 5.8 miles southeast of Squaw Valley. The landscape here is defined by the sharp, crystalline clarity of high-altitude air and the steady, rhythmic movement of Ward Creek as it carves its way through the terrain toward the water. To the west, the land rises in gentle slopes toward the high, jagged silhouettes of the Sierra Nevada, while the dense timber of the Onion Creek Experimental Forest stands as a solemn, silent sentinel over the basin. Travelers often find their way to Tahoe Park to witness the way the afternoon light catches the needles of the pine, turning the shadows into long, indigo strokes against the earth.

Sunnyside carries a history built upon the steady migration of those seeking the solace of the high country, shifting from seasonal timber interests to a slow-paced economy centered on the appreciation of the natural basin. The nearby Page Meadows offer a seasonal expanse of wildflowers and grasses, providing a counterpoint to the more rigorous, winding path of the Edward F Dolder Nature Trail. Residents maintain a life governed by the changing seasons, where the primary industry remains the quiet stewardship of the land and the hospitality offered to those who visit. Life in Sunnyside moves with a deliberate, measured gravity, reflecting a culture that values the permanence of the forest and the enduring, glacial depth of the lake over the frantic pace of the lowlands.

About This Sunnyside Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sunnyside, California. Coordinates: 36.729419, -119.694505. 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 Sunnyside includes the ZIP code (96145, 93727), telephone area code (760), county seat of Placer County (Auburn), and school district assignment (Fresno 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.
