How to Use This Capay, California Map

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

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.

Capay anchors the base of a verdant, sun-drenched corridor, where the steady pulse of Cache Creek carves a path through the fertile floor of Capay Valley. It lies 15.0 miles west of Woodland, CA (from Woodland, CA: bearing 278°T), and is situated 2.0 miles west-northwest of Esparto. This landscape is defined by the stark contrast of the dry, golden hills that rise to frame the horizon, catching a light so clear it renders the oak-dotted slopes in sharp, amber relief. Within the quiet boundaries of Capay Open Space Park, the air holds a stillness that speaks of deep, undisturbed earth, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges marks the western limit of the world.

Agriculture serves as the lifeblood of Capay, where orchards and row crops draw sustenance from the riverbed’s generous reach. The rhythm of daily existence here is dictated by the slow turning of seasons, a cycle of planting and harvest that has persisted since the valley was first settled. Though Alfalfa Patch Reservoir sits miles away, the presence of water remains the primary arbiter of prosperity, shaping a local economy rooted in the soil’s enduring productivity. Capay maintains a character defined by this agrarian heritage, where the pace of life remains tethered to the sun’s arc and the quiet, persistent vitality of the land.
