Explore Westhaven-Moonstone, 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 Westhaven-Moonstone, 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 Westhaven-Moonstone.
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.

Westhaven-Moonstone commands a rugged stretch of the Pacific Ocean coastline where the damp breath of the sea meets the edge of the continent. It lies 6.2 miles north of McKinleyville, CA (from McKinleyville, CA: bearing 357°T), and is situated 16.4 miles north of Eureka. The landscape is defined by the sharp, salt-crusted cliffs of Moonstone Beach County Park, where the horizon remains a vast, shifting gray until the fog lifts to reveal the jagged silhouette of Little River Rock standing sentinel just offshore. Inland, the terrain softens into the quiet, sodden basins of Water Gulch, while the nearby Clam Beach Ponds offer a still, freshwater contrast to the relentless churn of the tides. Far to the east, the distant, hazy blue of the Klamath Mountains anchors the view, providing a permanent, stoic backdrop to the coastal scrub and the wind-sculpted trees that lean perpetually toward the interior.
Generations of residents have built their lives around the rhythms of the Pacific Ocean, finding a steady, if modest, livelihood in the harvest of the sea and the seasonal pulse of the local timber trade. Westhaven-Moonstone maintains a quiet independence, where the currents of the Little River influence the land as much as the people, carrying the silt and secrets of the coastal forests toward the shore. Travelers occasionally venture toward the Tsurai Trail, tracing paths that once served as vital arteries for earlier inhabitants, while the nearby Arcata Community Forest provides a dense, green sanctuary that buffers the coastal winds. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, characterized by the smell of woodsmoke in the cool air and the steady, resonant boom of waves against the rocks, marking the hours in a place that feels simultaneously ancient and perpetually renewed by the tide.

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.
