How to Use This Cutten, California Map

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

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 Cutten, California

Cutten is a locality in Humboldt County, California, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,223. The population density is 971.4 people per km². Cutten is located at 40.7698°N, 124.1428°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95503, 95534.

Cutten occupies a landscape of soft, moisture-laden rises where the morning air often carries the briny tang of the Pacific Ocean, which lies only three miles to the west. It lies 2.5 miles south-southeast of Eureka, CA (from Eureka, CA: bearing 154°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south-southwest of Arcata. Beyond the residential streets, the terrain dips into the verdant, low-lying basin of Henderson Gulch, while the nearby flow of Martin Slough winds through the earth like a silver thread seeking the tides. To the east, the distant, rugged silhouette of the Klamath Mountains anchors the horizon, though the immediate surroundings favor the quiet vitality of Redwood Fields, a local space that anchors the neighborhood’s open ground. Beneath the canopy of the coastal climate, the light here possesses a diffused, pearlescent quality, turning the gray afternoons into a study of soft textures and muted earth tones.

Cutten retains the quiet character of a settlement that grew alongside the steady, rhythmic pulse of the timber industry, which once defined the economic life of the entire region. While the grand mills have largely faded into memory, the legacy of that labor remains in the sturdy architecture of the older homes and the practical, unassuming layout of the streets. Life in Cutten moves with a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic energy of metropolitan centers, yet it maintains a connection to the wider world through the nearby presence of Woodley Island and the maritime activity of the coast. Residents often find their way toward the quiet waters of Dead Mouse Marsh, a place where the water settles into stillness, reflecting the changing moods of the sky. Even as the modern economy shifts, the identity of Cutten remains tied to the salt air and the enduring, verdant resilience of the northern California landscape.

About This Cutten Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cutten, California. Coordinates: 40.76985, -124.142838. 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 Cutten includes the ZIP code (95503, 95534), telephone area code (530), county seat of Humboldt County (Eureka), and school district assignment (Cutten Elementary 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.
