How to Use This Tiburon, California Map

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

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.

Tiburon occupies a slender peninsula that reaches out into the cold, salt-heavy air of the Pacific Ocean. It lies 4.5 miles east of Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, CA (from Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, CA: bearing 95°T), and is situated 7.1 miles north-northwest of San Francisco. The land here is defined by the sharp transition between the deep tides and the rise of the landscape, where the golden summer hills often catch the fading amber light of dusk. Residents can walk the Sunset Trail to watch the fog drift in, obscuring the distant silhouettes of the Coast Ranges on the horizon. The local geography centers on the quiet waters of Belvedere Lagoon, which remains a calm contrast to the vast, open expanse of the coast. Below the ridgeline, the environment shifts toward the sheltered growth of an oak savanna, while the nearby Point Tiburon Shoreline Park offers a place to observe the rhythm of the water.

Tiburon began its life as a quiet terminal for rail and ferry transit, serving as a vital link for travelers moving toward the metropolitan centers across the water. The local economy has shifted from those early maritime and industrial roots into a sphere defined by professional services and small-scale commerce. While the roar of the modern world feels distant, the influence of the nearby freeway acts like an invisible river, drawing the pace of life toward the greater region. Employment remains tied to the ebb and flow of the wider economy, though the local character remains stubbornly focused on the maintenance of its own quiet, residential identity. Even today, the legacy of the old rail yards provides a sense of grounding for those who recognize the long history of the peninsula.

Tiburon holds a cultural character that balances an appreciation for privacy with a quiet, observant pride in its maritime heritage. Visitors often gather near the landmarks that line the water, finding stillness in the sight of Belvedere Island sitting against the gray, churning currents. The social calendar is marked by local gatherings that reflect the temperate climate, allowing for a life lived largely in the open air. Notable figures such as the musician Huey Lewis have long favored the solitude and the sharp, clean light found here. Whether one is wandering toward the distant Kent Falls or simply passing time near the shore, the atmosphere remains defined by the persistent, cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean.

About This Tiburon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tiburon, California. Coordinates: 37.886768, -122.462619. 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 Tiburon includes the ZIP code (94920), telephone area code (510), county seat of Marin County (San Rafael), and school district assignment (Tamalpais Union High 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.
