Explore Timber Cove, 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 Timber Cove, 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 Timber Cove.
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.

Timber Cove anchors itself against the jagged, unyielding edge of the Pacific Ocean, where the relentless rhythm of the tide meets the rugged terrestrial boundary. It lies 22.1 miles west-southwest of Healdsburg, CA (from Healdsburg, CA: bearing 255°T), and is situated 18.3 miles west of Hacienda. Fort Ross Creek carves a narrow, serpentine path through the landscape, feeding into the salt-heavy air of the coast before disappearing into the surf. The land here is defined by the steep, shadowed descent of Kolmer Gulch, which funnels the cool, marine-saturated winds upward toward the high, distant ridges of the Coast Ranges. Above the water, the horizon is frequently obscured by a thick, wandering fog that softens the sharp outlines of the bluffs, lending the atmosphere a heavy, quiet stillness that lingers long after the sun has retreated.
Timber Cove holds a history tied to the extraction of timber and the rugged isolation of the northern shoreline, where the economy has shifted from the labor of the forest to the stewardship of the surrounding environment. The waters offshore are protected as part of the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, a designation that preserves the marine life beneath the surface from the pressures of modern industry. While the pace of life remains slow, marked by the seasonal migration of whales and the shifting colors of the kelp beds, those seeking a longer trek may travel toward the Plantation Trail, located several miles inland. Though Lake Oliver rests five miles away in a quiet, sheltered basin, the primary character of Timber Cove remains inextricably linked to the salt-spray and the enduring, wild geology of the shoreline.

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.
