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.

About Capay, California

Capay is a locality in Glenn County, California, United States. Capay is located at 39.7965°N, 122.0844°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95627, 95963, 95607.

Capay reveals itself through the long, slanted light of the afternoon, where the valley floor stretches out in a mosaic of orchards and tilled earth beneath a vast, pale sky. It lies 13.9 miles west-northwest of Chico, CA (from Chico, CA: bearing 290°T), and is situated 6.8 miles east-northeast of Orland. This inland expanse is defined by the steady, quiet presence of the Sacramento River, which flows only a mile away, feeding the thirsty soil and anchoring the rhythm of the landscape. To the west, the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Cascade Range, while the immediate terrain remains dominated by the sun-baked, open fields that transition into the quietude of the Sacramento River Wildlife Area just three miles from the center of town. In the heat of the day, the air carries the scent of dry grass and ripening fruit, a reminder of the deep, fertile basin that defines the geography here.

Capay persists as a quiet node of agricultural industry, its identity forged by generations of farmers who have coaxed harvests from the alluvial soil. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the land, moving in step with the seasonal harvest of almonds, olives, and citrus that characterize this part of the world. While Sandy Gulch lies ten miles to the north, its rugged influence is felt in the seasonal shifts of the watershed, and Soto Lake, six miles away, offers a rare, calm reflection of the sky in an otherwise industrious, working landscape. Life in Capay moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary concerns are the irrigation schedules and the persistent, golden warmth of a climate that demands patience and respect from those who work its fields.
