How to Use This Delleker, California Map

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

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 Delleker, California

Delleker is a locality in Plumas County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 802. The population density is 112.0 people per km². Delleker is located at 39.8088°N, 120.4980°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 96122.

Delleker marks a narrow corridor where the earth yields to the insistent, rushing presence of the Middle Fork Feather River. It lies 37.2 miles north-northwest of Truckee, CA (from Truckee, CA: bearing 333°T), and is situated 1.5 miles west of Portola. This waterway carves a path through the landscape, defining the boundaries of Delleker as it flows past the quiet edges of Humbug Valley. The air here carries a crisp, inland clarity, far removed from the humid influence of the distant Pacific, and the light at dusk often turns the surrounding brush a bruised, metallic gold. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into rugged, timbered slopes that suggest the immense, distant reach of the Sierra Nevada. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Grizzly Ice Pond for a stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of the river’s passage.

History in Delleker remains tied to the hard, tangible labor of the timber industry, a legacy that lingers in the weathered texture of the older structures and the purposeful layout of the streets. The Feather, California Wild and Scenic River designation ensures that the riparian corridor retains a raw, unmanicured vitality, keeping the regional economy tethered to the rhythms of the land rather than the sprawl of modern development. Life here follows the seasonal shifts of the high country, where the winters demand resilience and the summers arrive with a fierce, dry heat that parches the tall grasses. Those seeking the reach of the wilderness often find their way toward the Madora Lake Loop Trail, yet the local character is defined less by tourism and more by a persistent, quiet endurance that has persisted since the first sawmill whistles faded into the canyon echoes.

About This Delleker Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Delleker, California. Coordinates: 39.80879, -120.497993. 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 Delleker includes the ZIP code (96122), telephone area code (530), county seat of Plumas County (Quincy), and school district assignment (Plumas Unified 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.
