Explore Westport, 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 Westport, 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 Westport.
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.

Westport occupies a precarious, wind-swept margin where the terrestrial world surrenders to the Pacific. It lies 45.5 miles northwest of Ukiah, CA (from Ukiah, CA: bearing 318°T), and is situated 13.2 miles north of Fort Bragg. The landscape is defined by a jagged interface of cliff and surf, characterized by the raw, unrefined drama of the shoreline where the salt-heavy air clings to the skin. To the north, the terrain rises in rugged swells that eventually reach toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges, while the immediate geography is carved by the persistent flow of Wages Creek and the deep, silent incision of Rider Gulch. Just off the shore, Switzer Rock stands as a sentinel against the tide, its dark form breaking the rhythmic white foam of the sea. Across the open water, the maritime influence remains constant, though the presence of Rockport Bay seven miles away suggests a slightly more sheltered geography than the exposed, vertical bluffs that define the immediate perimeter of Westport Headlands Park.
Economic life in Westport has long been tethered to the shifting fortunes of the sea and the timbered slopes that rise above the spray. The settlement carries the quiet weight of a history built upon the extraction of resources, where the labor of earlier generations remains visible in the weathering of wooden structures and the slow reclamation of the land by salt-tolerant grasses. Today, the pace is dictated by the turning of the tides and the seasonal transition of the light, which shifts from the pale, bruised violet of winter mornings to the sharp, golden clarity of late summer. The character of the locality is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of those who maintain a presence in this isolated corridor, finding purpose in the solitude of the coast and the simple, repetitive cycles of a life lived at the edge of the continent.

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.
