Explore Venice, 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 Venice, 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 Venice.
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.

Venice reveals itself through the interplay of golden Pacific light and the persistent, cool fog that drifts inward from the Pacific Ocean. It lies 2.7 miles southeast of Santa Monica, CA (from Santa Monica, CA: bearing 138°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west-northwest of Inglewood. The landscape sits low and level, anchored by the quiet, narrow waters of the Grand Canal that wind through the residential grids. Marco Place Parkway provides a thin, green ribbon of respite amidst the dense urban architecture. Far to the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Santa Monica Mountains defines the edge of the horizon. The terrain remains largely flat, leading toward the expansive sandy edge where the tide meets the shore one mile away.
Venice began as a bold vision of canals and recreation, eventually evolving into a hub for modern commerce and creative enterprise. The local economy thrives on a mixture of tech-forward industry, boutique retail, and a persistent, independent spirit of craftsmanship. While the early days focused on tourism, the current atmosphere favors a diverse mix of professional studios and small-scale manufacturing. Residents often gather along the sidewalks, where the pace is set by the steady hum of people moving between workspaces and the nearby coastal air. The proximity to the Santa Monica Canyon provides a subtle, natural boundary to the north, influencing the way the regional breeze moves through the streets.
Venice possesses a restless, artistic character that has long attracted those seeking a break from the conventional. Notable landmarks like the iconic boardwalk and the intricate, historic walkways define the daily experience of the locals. Famous figures such as the poet Jim Morrison once walked these streets, leaving a lasting mark on the cultural consciousness of the neighborhood. Local events often center on the intersection of sport and performance, drawing crowds to the open spaces under the bright, unfiltered sun. Visitors looking for a quiet moment might find it near the Del Rey Lagoon, where the water reflects the sky in a steady, calming blue. Far off the coast, the silhouette of Big Rock remains a point of orientation for those who keep their eyes turned toward the horizon.

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.
