Explore Carrick, California, 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 Carrick, 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 Carrick.
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.

Carrick defines itself by the persistent, rhythmic murmur of Carrick Creek, which carves a narrow, vital corridor through the parched earth of the landscape. It lies 53.0 miles north of Shasta Lake, CA (from Shasta Lake, CA: bearing 0°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north-northwest of Mount Shasta. The horizon is dominated by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Klamath Mountains, their peaks standing as silent sentinels over the dry, golden grasses that shimmer under the unrelenting intensity of the afternoon sun. To the north, the terrain rises toward the rugged shadows of Diller Canyon, while the cool, crystalline presence of Lake Shastina sits only a short distance away, offering a stark contrast to the dust-moted air of the plains. Even in the height of summer, when the heat seems to suspend time itself, the air carries a faint, sharp clarity that traces the path of water toward the hidden, icy heights of Whitney Glacier and the cascading descent of Whitney Falls.
Carrick emerged from the necessity of the frontier, serving as a quiet nexus where the land’s sparse resources dictated the slow, deliberate pace of daily survival. Life here is tethered to the cycles of the earth, with the local economy rooted in the resilient agricultural traditions that have long persisted despite the unforgiving climate. Residents often gather in Carrick Park, a patch of maintained green that provides a communal anchor against the vast, open expanse of the surrounding wilderness. The character of Carrick remains tethered to these fundamental realities, where the weight of the sun and the scarcity of rain demand a certain stoic grace from those who call the region home, leaving the spirit of the place to reside in the quiet labor of the day and the long, amber shadows that lengthen across the fields at dusk.

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.
