Explore West Hollywood, 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 West Hollywood, 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 West Hollywood.
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.

West Hollywood occupies a distinct position on a gentle incline that slopes away from the distant, hazy heights of the Santa Monica Mountains. It lies 2.1 miles west-southwest of Hollywood, CA (from Hollywood, CA: bearing 254°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west-northwest of Los Angeles.
The urban fabric here is defined by a dense, walkable scale where the afternoon light catches the edges of stucco buildings and turns the street-level foliage into a warm, amber haze. To the north, the terrain shifts into the rugged, brush-filled folds of Laurel Canyon, while Ballona Creek traces a path through the broader regional topography three miles away. Residents often find respite in the Crescent Heights Triangle And Matthew Shepard Memorial, a small, quiet gathering space that punctuates the busy grid. While the Hollywood Reservoir sits three miles distant, the local landscape relies on the steady, arid rhythm of an inland basin, far removed from any coastal influence. The atmosphere remains dry and bright, favoring a climate where the days stretch long and the shadows lengthen with architectural precision.
Incorporation transformed West Hollywood from a collection of unincorporated ranch lands and early film studios into a self-governing entity defined by its independent spirit. The local economy thrives on a vibrant mix of design districts, media production offices, and a robust hospitality sector that keeps the streets alive well past dusk. Historically, the area functioned as a creative hub for the entertainment industry, attracting writers and performers who sought a space outside the strictures of neighboring municipal boundaries. Today, the economy leans heavily into high-end retail, creative services, and a nightlife scene that draws visitors from across the globe. Industry here is less about heavy manufacturing and more about the cultivation of trends, aesthetic innovation, and the constant, rapid churn of cultural production.
West Hollywood possesses a cultural character defined by its inclusivity and an unapologetic commitment to avant-garde expression. The streets serve as an open gallery, punctuated by iconic neon signs and the preserved facades of historic clubs that once hosted legends like Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin. Notable events, such as the annual Halloween Carnaval, fill the thoroughfares with a kinetic energy that reflects the neighborhood's diverse identity. The local pace is rapid and polished, characterized by a constant stream of pedestrians moving between cafes, galleries, and boutique shops. Even the architecture seems to participate in this performance, with low-slung mid-century modern apartments sitting comfortably beside sleek, contemporary structures. It is a place where the private lives of residents and the public face of the entertainment industry exist in a perpetual, brightly lit dialogue.

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.
