How to Use This Yosemite National Park, California Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Yosemite National Park, 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 Yosemite National Park.
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.

About Yosemite National Park, California
Yosemite National Park is a locality in Mariposa County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,982. The population density is 2.0 people per km². Yosemite National Park is located at 37.8651°N, 119.5383°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95389.Yosemite National Park reveals itself as a high-altitude sanctuary defined by the raw, geologic ambition of the Sierra Nevada. It lies 64.7 miles northeast of Merced, CA (from Merced, CA: bearing 53°T), and is situated 17.4 miles east of Mather. Granite monoliths rise with a severe, silent authority above the basin of Halfmoon Meadow, where the air holds a thin, crystalline quality that sharpens the senses. Water moves through the landscape with persistent, rhythmic gravity, channeled by the steady flow of Yosemite Creek and the quiet, reflective depths of Grant Lakes. Far to the north, the stark white presence of Conness Glacier lingers against the sky, while the distant, thundering descent of Pywiack Cascade acts as a vertical punctuation mark in the rugged terrain. This is a place where the light at dusk turns the stone into something resembling bruised copper, casting long, sharp shadows across the floor of the Yosemite Wilderness Area.
Yosemite National Park functions as a living archive of environmental stewardship, existing as a protected expanse where the economy centers entirely on the preservation of its natural integrity. The land tells a story of careful management, anchored by the scientific rigor of the Harvey Monroe Hall Research Natural Area, which serves as a quiet laboratory for understanding the alpine resilience of this high country. Hikers move with deliberate purpose along the Ten Lakes Trail, their presence transient against a landscape that has been molded by millennia of glacial shift and seasonal melt. The cultural character here is one of profound, hushed observation, where the daily rhythm is dictated not by the clock, but by the movement of the sun across the ridgelines and the shifting clarity of the mountain atmosphere.

About This Yosemite National Park Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Yosemite National Park, California. Coordinates: 37.8651, -119.5383. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Yosemite National Park includes the ZIP code (95389), telephone area code (408, 669), county seat of Mariposa County (Mariposa), and school district assignment.
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.
