How to Use This Three Rivers, California Map

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

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 Three Rivers, California

Three Rivers is a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,053. The population density is 25.6 people per km². Three Rivers is located at 36.4400°N, 118.8803°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 93271.

Three Rivers occupies a rugged corridor where the Kaweah River carves its energetic path through the foothills. It lies 16.5 miles northeast of Exeter, CA (from Exeter, CA: bearing 53°T), and is situated 19.2 miles north-northeast of Lindsay. The landscape rises in dramatic tiers, transitioning from dry, golden-hued oak savanna into the dense, ancient timber of the Giant Forest just a dozen miles away. To the east, the distant silhouette of the Sierra Nevada commands the horizon, casting long, sharp shadows over the terrain as the afternoon light shifts to a deep, burnished amber. Travelers passing through Washburn Cove or looking out toward the expanse of Lake Kaweah encounter a stillness in the air, a sense of geological patience etched into the fractured, sun-baked slopes that define the immediate geography.

Three Rivers maintains a distinct character shaped by its proximity to the Kaweah Area of Critical Environmental Concern, a designation that underscores the local commitment to preserving the wild character of these interior lands. The economy balances the quiet needs of a close-knit residency with the seasonal flow of visitors drawn to the natural grandeur that characterizes this inland elevation. Local life moves in harmony with the seasonal rise and fall of the river, a rhythm marked by the cooling influence of the water against the heat of the summer months. Here, the history of the region remains visible in the quiet persistence of the landscape, where the rugged topography dictates the pace of progress and ensures that the wilder, uncultivated spirit of the environment remains the primary influence on the daily experience.

About This Three Rivers Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Three Rivers, California. Coordinates: 36.440041, -118.88028. 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 Three Rivers includes the ZIP code (93271), 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.
