Explore Hollister, Idaho, 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 Hollister, Idaho. 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 Idaho 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 Hollister.
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.

Hollister anchors itself upon a high, arid expanse where the earth stretches toward the horizon in muted shades of sagebrush and tawny bunchgrass. It lies 15.6 miles south-southwest of Twin Falls, ID (from Twin Falls, ID: bearing 202°T), and is situated 16.4 miles southwest of Kimberly. The land here feels stripped to its essentials, dominated by a vast, open sky that bleeds into the silhouette of Berger Butte six miles to the north, a solitary rise that breaks the monotony of the plains. Beneath the clear, hard light of the high desert, the air carries a distinct, dry clarity, and the silence of the surrounding terrain is interrupted only by the wind moving through the scrub. Two miles away, the Idaho Department of Lands manages the scrubby, expansive acreage that defines the local perimeter, while the distant, low-lying basin of Huja Hunu’u adds a subtle depth to the otherwise level topography.
Hollister persists as a quiet outpost of agricultural labor, defined by the irrigation networks that allow life to flourish in this rain-shadowed climate. The Main Canal serves as a vital, engineered artery just two miles from the center, channeling water that sustains the local fields and dictates the seasonal rhythm of the work here. Farmers and laborers rely on these conduits as much as they do the winter snowmelt, and the presence of Deep Creek Reservoir six miles distant provides a necessary buffer against the parched summer months. The character of Hollister is built on this disciplined relationship with the land, a persistent, unadorned way of life where the economy is tied closely to the soil and the steady, mechanical maintenance of the water supply.

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.
