How to Use This Tipton, California Map

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

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 Tipton, California

Tipton is a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,519. The population density is 563.5 people per km². Tipton is located at 36.0594°N, 119.3121°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 93272.

Tipton rises from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Central Valley where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a relentless, expansive sky. It lies 10.4 miles south of Tulare, CA (from Tulare, CA: bearing 169°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north of Pixley. The air here holds a dry, heat-tempered clarity, and the earth is a patchwork of cultivated fields that drink deep from the irrigation veins of the region. A mile to the west, the slow, rhythmic pulse of Mitchell Slough traces a path through the dust, while the distant, hazy shadow of the Sierra Nevada marks the eastern edge of the world. Even on the quietest afternoons, the light casts long, amber shadows across the land, turning the vast agricultural plains into a shimmering tapestry of gold and deep, earthen brown that changes with the shifting sun.

Tipton serves as a quiet sentinel of the agricultural industry, its identity forged in the steady labor of harvest and the patient cycle of the seasons. The local economy remains anchored to the soil, defined by the productivity of orchards and crop lands that have sustained generations of families who know the value of this fertile, inland basin. Those seeking a reprieve from the open fields find solace in the quietude of Pixley Park, a refuge that offers a glimpse into the native character of the landscape. Life in Tipton moves with the deliberate pace of the tractor and the seasonal migration of crops, a place where the history of the valley is written not in stone, but in the enduring lines of the furrows and the persistent, industrious spirit of those who call this plain their own.

About This Tipton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tipton, California. Coordinates: 36.059397, -119.312058. 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 Tipton includes the ZIP code (93272), telephone area code (661), county seat of Tulare County (Visalia), and school district assignment (Tipton Elementary 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.
