How to Use This Berry Creek, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Berry Creek, 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 Berry Creek.

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 Berry Creek, California

Berry Creek is a locality in Butte County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,637. The population density is 11.1 people per km². Berry Creek is located at 39.6318°N, 121.4056°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95916.

Berry Creek commands a rugged expanse of high-altitude terrain where the earth rises in broken, sun-bleached ridges toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cascade Range. It lies 12.2 miles northeast of Oroville, CA (from Oroville, CA: bearing 42°T), and is situated 9.6 miles north-northeast of Oroville East. The landscape is defined by a persistent, dry heat that pulls the moisture from the soil, leaving the oak woodland and manzanita thickets to shimmer in the late afternoon glare. Berry Creek itself carves a persistent path through this terrain, its waters feeding the quiet basin of Madrone Lake, which sits as a stagnant glass mirror reflecting the unyielding blue sky. Beyond the immediate clearings, the dense, shadowed timber of the Plumas National Forest encroaches upon the periphery, standing as a silent, monolithic wall that dictates the boundaries of human reach.

History here is written in the debris of extractive cycles and the slow, steady reclamation of the forest floor, where the economy has long oscillated between the demands of timber and the quiet persistence of those seeking seclusion away from the crowded valleys. Residents navigate the local topography by the steep, winding cuts of the land, often seeking the solitude of the Big Bald Trail or the dramatic, vertical rush of Curtain Falls to the north. Life in Berry Creek moves with the cadence of the seasons, shifting from the tinder-dry fragility of late summer to the sudden, heavy relief of winter rains. It is a place where the infrastructure feels secondary to the immense, indifferent weight of the surrounding wilderness, and where the silence of the Bloomer Ravine serves as a constant reminder of the land’s original, untamed character.

About This Berry Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Berry Creek, California. Coordinates: 39.631812, -121.405621. 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 Berry Creek includes the ZIP code (95916), telephone area code (530), county seat of Butte County (Oroville), and school district assignment (Oroville Union High School District).

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.
