To get a sense of local Geography, you can look at lots of maps of Davis, or of broader areas, online. Maps can help you in navigating Davis.

• Davis Map - The interactive Davis Wiki-based map
  

• Google map and Google Earth (as of Sept 8 2006, the satellite imagery of the Davis area is finally in high resolution! And, as of June 10 2008, street view works!)
  

• Bicycle Maps - an aggregate of city and regional bike maps
  

• Campus Maps - Most student services offices should have the larger UCD maps available
  

• 2003 aerial photos - download individually in high resolution or browse seamlessly using flash (Note that this imagery is now in Google Earth/Maps!).
  

• openstreetmap is a community generated map of the world.
  

• Davis Growth Map
  

• Unitrans Bus Route Map
  

• Mapsurfer - Hosted by our very own UC Davis, this map tool is really cool!
  

• TopoZone - Lets you search topographical maps by location names.
  

• SACOG GIS Clearing House
  

• Downtown Map Signs - Map stations in downtown mounted in metal frames.
  

A map of Campus, to help you get around. If you got this map off Davis Wiki in 1955, that is. from The California Aggie

• Apartments - has PDF of geocoded apartment complexes using Google Maps. This is useful to get a general idea of location suitability.
  

If you want a printed map of the area, Newsbeat and The Avid Reader sell lots of different kinds. Maps for the entire town and surrounding area can also be bought at most drugstores, grocery stores and gas stations. The Yolo County Visitors Bureau also gives out moderately useful maps for free.

You can also look at many maps in the Shields Library Map Room, located in the basement of the library. They have a complete set of California topographic maps to look at and photocopy. You don't even have to put them away once you are done looking at them!

They are not available at: MU Info Desk, Bike Barn, or TAPS even though they all say the other one has them. I believe the chamber of commerce has them as well, if you can find that place. —JonathanLawton
