Explore Temelec, 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 Temelec, 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 Temelec.
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.

Temelec rises from a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic pulse of Rodgers Creek, which carves its way through the earth just a short distance from the local soil. It lies 2.6 miles southwest of Sonoma, CA (from Sonoma, CA: bearing 227°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-northeast of Petaluma. The air here holds the heavy, salt-sweetened memory of the Pacific, drifting inland from the distant McNear Channel to cool the golden, tinder-dry grasses that stretch toward the horizon. To the west, the jagged silhouettes of the Coast Ranges anchor the sky, their ridges often veiled in the silver-gray drift of coastal fog that clings to the oak savanna. Nearby, the quiet waters of Goose Lake mirror the shifting light of the afternoon, while the expansive, sun-drenched expanse of the Valley of the Moon provides a cradle for the surrounding terrain. Even within the proximity of Madera Park, the land retains a sense of wild, unmanaged grace, where the light at dusk turns the dry fields into a shimmering, bruised violet.
Temelec carries a quiet weight of history in its foundations, shaped by a legacy that lingers in the old, weathered structures and the deliberate, measured pace of daily existence. The local economy finds its roots in the enduring character of the land, once marked by sprawling estates and now defined by a stillness that invites the curious traveler to wander the paths toward the State Hospital Orchard Trail. Life here moves with the sun, favoring the slow cultivation of the earth and the preservation of a singular, distinct identity that resists the rapid encroachment of the outside world. Whether one looks toward the distant, hazy form of Neils Island or listens to the seasonal surge of the creek, there is an unmistakable impression of a place that has learned to listen to its own silence.

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.
