Explore Woodland, 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 Woodland, 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 Woodland.
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.

Woodland occupies a vast, sun-drenched expanse of the flat agricultural plains that define the northern reaches of the Central Valley. It lies 9.4 miles north of Davis, CA (from Davis, CA: bearing 349°T), and is situated 9.8 miles north of University of California-Davis. The physical character of Woodland is defined by the heavy, fertile soil that has long nurtured the surrounding orchards and fields, creating a landscape where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed. During the height of the summer, the air turns dry and hot, shimmering over the earth until the long shadows of dusk pull a cooling, violet haze across the fields. While the distant Coast Ranges occasionally trace a jagged, gray silhouette against the western sky, the immediate topography remains dominated by the level, productive expanse of the basin, offering a sense of openness that feels both ancient and enduring.
Early settlers were drawn to the promise of this rich soil, establishing Woodland as a vital hub for pioneers seeking to master the rhythms of the land. The settlement grew from a modest collection of homesteads into a center of commerce, anchored by the expansion of the rail lines that once carried the bounty of the valley to hungry markets. Over the decades, Woodland preserved a collection of Victorian and early twentieth-century architecture, keeping the memory of its founding architects alive in the intricate woodwork and sturdy brick facades of its downtown corridors. These structures stand as quiet observers of the town's evolution, marking the transition from a frontier outpost into a place where the legacy of the harvest continues to shape the daily pulse of the streets.
Economic vitality in Woodland remains deeply rooted in the agricultural sector, where sophisticated processing and shipping operations transform raw produce into staples for a global table. Beyond the reach of the fields, Woodland supports a diverse industrial base, including manufacturing and logistics, which hums with a steady, mechanical efficiency. Infrastructure projects and local commerce have expanded to meet the needs of a growing population, ensuring that the town maintains its role as a regional anchor. While higher education is primarily accessed through the nearby academic institutions that draw talent from the surrounding counties, Woodland functions as a residential and professional base for those who value the balance between industrious work and the quietude of a valley life.
Cultural life in Woodland expresses itself through the preservation of local heritage and the celebration of seasonal rhythms. Major annual events, such as the Yolo County Fair, draw the community together to honor the agricultural roots that define the region, transforming the fairgrounds into a vibrant display of livestock, crafts, and shared meals. Residents often find recreation in the local Freeman Park, a quiet space that offers a reprieve from the bustle of the day, or by venturing out toward the Cache Creek Settling Basin for a glimpse of the local wildlife. Though the town does not house professional sports stadiums, the spirit of competition thrives in high school athletics, which command the attention and loyalty of families across the district. The pace of life here is governed by the slow turning of the seasons, a quiet, grounded reality that persists even as the modern world flows along the nearby freeways.

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.
